Yesterday’s foot of snow is dazzling in this morning’s sunshine. Even when everyone else I know is tired of winter, the new ground cover rejuvenates me. Last week our back yard was soggy; in places my boots sank two inches into mud. Our dog bounds through the snow, pushing her nose into drifts and throwing up powder just for the fun of it. When I throw her ball it disappears instantly, but she’s very good at finding it.
