After two days of snow we have a gorgeous morning pending today...
Outside the garden is blanketed... it makes difficult terrain for the rabbits to navigate, but they somehow manage to get through the snow dunes to feed on the bird food!
The blue bird boxes are capped with about 8 inches of snow...

On the day before Christmas Eve, Nicholas was lamenting that all the snow had melted...then, the next day, as perfectly timed as the barn doors opening to the tune of "White Christmas", the earth was coated in a pristine layer of brightest, shimmering, frozen water crystals...
He exclaimed something akin to "I want much more of this" .... hmmm...again....his wish was fulfilled....
It was an extraordinary week of snowfall, Firstly 6 inches, then a further 10...the landscape has been transformed...
The wild winds, sweeping down from Canada, shaped the snow covering our box plants, into miniature blue-tinted dunes.
And, in the calm stillness of a January night, here was the evening sky's gift to our eyes and hearts...
The light shines so brightly, it even illuminates the shadow-side, the hidden side. Beneath the cold, frozen earth are dormant new growth, hibernating animals, the pending spring...this gift of a moon reminded me of this so eloquently....
