Yesterday afternoon, while a group of us sat in the dining room of a friend’s home chatting, I pointed outside and said: “Look, spring rain!” Naturally, everyone swiveled around to see curtains of snow descending onto the valley floor and swaying over the nearby homes. Soon, huge snowflakes swept by the windows horizontally before looping down into the greening grass and quietly melting.
The storm did not last long. When the low snowclouds lifted and tumbled away again, leaving azure skies immediately behind them, the higher mountains around us shone a brilliant white.
New snow!
We have fickle weather in these parts, but the results are always sincere and beautiful.
