Everything Was Blanketed By White
Author: siggyWhen I woke up and looked outside our large living room window everything was blanketed by white. The trees, ground were all covered by white. In fact, it was a wet snow. It was just cold enough to snow last night. The branches of our large white pine in front of our window were bowed down by the weight of the snow. There were some broken branches lying on the ground.
This was a rough year for that pine tree. It lost several large branches during at least three storms. I immediately put out more birdseed when I got up. This may be the last snowstorm of the year so I took a long look at all the trees and ground. I may not see such a scene until next year. It was March 7, so it is possible we may get another such storm but the days were getting warmer and warmer. This storm had taken us by surprise.
