It’s snowing lightly today, that kind of snow that falls soundlessly, inspiring poets and romantics to relection on such an early winter day. In stark contrast to the deep snow and then conflicting rain of recent weeks, it is instead a perfect between-the-holidays interlude. A grand day for a walk in the winter woods with the dogs and no need to rush compelling one’s pace.
