Some Minor Thoughts


 So this is what snow looks like here...

A long way from the Capital right now...

 I could just use this instead of the public coaches...

Greetings for the Great White North

Welcome to the crisp woods of Middle Michigan; some of you may know it better as Narnia. We had another great snowfall the night before last, and now the snow lies deep and quiet about our great northern forests. In the words of my sister, today's sunshine is truly a "glorious morning." The thermometer read -5 degrees Fahrenheit at 9:00am. Hear are some pictures...

Yesterday:













 "A moment later she found that she was standing in the middle of a wood... with snow under her feet and snowflakes falling through the air...."




This Morning:
"There was a crisp, dry snow under his feet and more snow lying on the branches of the trees. Overhead there was a pale blue sky, the sort of sky one sees on a fine winter day in the morning. Straight ahead of him he saw between the tree-trunks the sun, just rising, very read and clear."
