January 6---And Snow!

 

 

 

 

We are still new to the new year, and new beginnings. Already, earthquakes, missiles and the first school shooting of the year.  Today is January 6--- and 3 years ago, it was Insurrection Day, a  violent attempt to overthrow an  election. It didn't start that day, and there is still a threat to democracy today.

Saturday, January 6---Epiphany, Three Kings Day.  And snow today! This is real snow, the snow the kids wanted for Christmas. About 1 or 2 inches of wet snow, here. Yes, enough to shovel.  It's so beautiful, clinging to the bare branches of the trees,  the milkweed  pods, and stems of the autumn grasses.  

The snow is the color of the sky, and the sky is the color of the snow.

And today, walking through the alley, there are  Christmas trees,  covered with snow.
