Snow surprise

I woke up early to find myself in a winter wonderland.  There were several inches of snow outside and it was beautiful.  It's already raining, so it won't be around for too much longer, which is fine by me.  I don't drive if it's snowy with all of the hills here in Seattle.  We haven't had any snow for a couple of winters as I recall, so it's nice to see it once in awhile.

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” 
― Lewis Carroll
