Through The Screen...

 of the Dreaming Porch, the sun peeked over the horizon, lighting our snow covered valley.  The snow arrived quietly during the evening, with no fanfare, no marching bands and no parades...it just came.

It clings to every structure, every limb and greets the first light with a twinkle of beauty. 

I see the beauty although my hands are numb from breaking ice and feeding animals.  The sun amplifies the beauty and brings hope that the snow will leave quickly.

We won't be dreaming on this porch today.

It will have to wait for warmer weather.
