Such a peaceful scene out the window early this morning. There was a fresh inch or so or snow and it was cold enough that it sparkled. Everything looked new and untouched.
The squirrels were snuffling in the snow looking for buried treasure.
There must have been a few seeds left undiscovered from yesterday.
The sky cleared to a bright blue and as I walked around our block I could see that neighbourhood watch dogs and cats had already assumed their daytime guard positions,
alert and vigilant against intruders.
Well, at least some of them.
It was a morning to revel in the sun on my face and the clean smell of the air;
to notice small things like the lichen on the maple trunk,
To appreciate the beauty of the snow flowers freshly decorated.
To see the tiniest of steps towards spring.
To take a deep breath.
