early winter

it finally snowed yesterday (flurries don't count). it was the first snow of the season and somehow missed it in action because it seemed a precisely timed and choreographed event. was on the phone; rose up to peer through the curtains and was pleasantly surprised to find an inch of snow. it had already stopped snowing but there was a quiet beauty and stillness which only snow can engender, even in a fairly ugly urban setting. it was nice to walk on the pavement this morning to work, seeing visible signs that other people had walked or bicycled earlier.

capping the mailbox
outside the door this morning-
1.5 inches of snow !!
