There is something very calming watching the snowflakes fall with no rush to reach their destination.

No snow here in Beetley so far this winter. It is always best viewed somewhere else, as far as I am concerned. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

We must work with nature and not against it. It will have its way. Enjoy its blessings and be prepared to withstand its whims.
