Falls settling soft and slow
Winter isn't ready to give up her hold on northern Illinois. She buried us in one of those heavy, wet snows that come mostly just before spring makes an appearance. Too heavy to shovel snow; back breaking, heart attack snow. Perfect snowball packing, snowman rolling snow.
Snow that disappears in a few short days and leaves puddles and mud in it's wake.
But while it lasts, snow that dogs love.
Snow that inspires races.
Snow that disappoints daffodils just emerging from a long sleep.
Snow that looks perfect viewed through kitchen windows.
