winter reprieve

For a few hours yesterday we had a reprieve from winter. After having lunch with dear friends, the sun came out so we decided to go for a walk at the beach.


White Rock was bright and gorgeous - with no snow (well, a few rotten piles in the parking lot, but nothing to speak of)! We enjoyed the walking ease, blue sky, boats and birds.



This morning it all seemed like a dream. Back here the snow never disappeared. This morning the sky was pregnant with it again and all day the white stuff sifted down. We are in a world of white. The temperatures are supposed to warm overnight bringing us rain -- days and days of rain.

Am I ever glad we squandered our one clear afternoon at the beach!
