We waited all week for it. Everyone’s watching the weather report, changing their plans, buying extra groceries.
Me, I went to Atlanta and stayed here.
We didn’t escape the snow. Atlanta caught the tail of Jonas, and the white crystals snuck in this evening.

That white stuff turns even car hoods into tri-valued abstracts:

Besides, it’s another exercise in seeing beauty wherever you are.
[PS, and here’s how it looked the next morning:]
Today’s penny is a 2014, the year Tom bought the condo.
