First snow |
torsdag, oktober 11, 2007First snow
The first snows for the season arrived in southern Sweden overnight. How amazing - the leaves haven't fallen from the trees yet and already the snow is here. The top of the ground was frozen and it is bitingly cold. Everything seems so clear, clean and fresh.
 It will all melt away in a few days as much warmer weather is forecast for the coming week or so, but I know that it won’t be long before the snow that falls won’t melt. The sight of virgin snow has the capacity to make me feel wistful in the same way that Christmas carols do - the magic though tinged with the burden of experience, the promise dappled with a wish that the world really was that innocent. And I look forward to those still, grey winter days when the world seems wrapped in mist and you feel that any sound you make could carry to the next country. See the pretty snowfakes Falling from the sky; On the wall and housetops Soft and thick they lie. On the window ledges, On the branches bare; Now how fast they gather, Filling all the air. Look into the garden, Where the grass was green; Covered by the snowflakes, Not a blade is seen. Now the bare black bushes All look soft and white, Every twig is laden, -- What a pretty sight!

Autumn and snow always bring out the poems! Beautiful photo. I remeber the photos of prev winters that you've posted - expecting more of the same, but am glad for your sake that this is the first, and will melt. I guess you can wait for the big snows.
Hurray! I can see your comment today. I have no idea what was going on yesterday with Blogger, but as I explained to you, FTP publishing has a few bugs in it at the moment.

I love the snow - at least in the beginning of the season. I'm hoping that it will be just as snowy here as it was a little further north. Then I'll be in heaven!
