The snow is a beast and I suppose a burden but I see the beauty in it.

| Saturday morning looking northwest from the porch to the river. |
The sky is clear, the air is still, the temperature barely above zero.
 |
| Elliott coming and going. Believe me, he did not go far. |
Saturday afternoon
A walk to the river. Thursday I tried and every third step sunk a foot, maybe two, maybe three. Up to my knees. But today, just a few inches. The snow that sticks to the snowshoes is a lead weight.
 |
| Looking north across the river. Not my tracks! |
The edge of the river softens, the sun is warm, there is a slight breeze. Temperature in the forties.
Saturday evening
The snow puckers, slides off the roof with great elan, drips, crashes, shrinks, evaporates, recedes, melts, even (maybe) disappears.
