White Stuff

I just peaked at the weather forecast to see what Christmas might have in store and learned that snow showers are predicted for the morning of the 25th. While I doubt this will hold up, we've had more snow on the ground this week than in the last two years, 

This morning I awoke to a coating of fresh flakes on yesterday's hardened ice crust. There's just enough of the white stuff to flock the holly and dust the deck. And since it's only 28 degrees outside right now, it might last.

It will be a strange Christmas; that much we know. But wouldn't it be nice if it was a white one, too?
