"The whited air
Hides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven
And veils the farm-house at the garden's end."
from "The Snow-Storm" by Ralph Waldo Emerson
What #nature looks like in my world. Supposed to snow all day.

batsy I don't mean to go on about the beauty of snow when you're having too much of it, but! It's such a gorgeous picture. 2y
readordierachel It looks so quiet 2y
Cathythoughts Lovely ✨ 2y
TheSpineView There is a quiet beauty to snow!💙 2y
merelybookish @monalyisha I havent read much of his poetry (although this poem is lovely!) I mostly have read his essays. 2y
merelybookish @SRWCF True. It will look less desolate tomorrow when (hopefully) the sun comes out. 2y
merelybookish @batsy Thanks! There is beauty. But one can have too much of a good thing. 😆😉 2y
merelybookish @erzascarletbookgasm @readordierachel @Cathythoughts @TheSpineView It is fun seeing it from your perspective. We are getting quite weary of it. 2y
BiblioLitten @merelybookish I hear you about the weariness 😅 2y
monalyisha @merelybookish Same, actually! 2y
merelybookish @BiblioLitten We have had so much snow since New Years and more in the forecast. 😳 2y
BiblioLitten @merelybookish I can only see white now but Emerson helps.😊 Stay warm 2y
batsy @merelybookish I'm recalling times in Winnipeg and I definitely hear you 😅🥶 2y
Centique Wow! That is a landscape I have never seen in real life. Beautiful but also worrying, I don‘t know how you get out in so much snow! 🧐 I hope it has eased up and it‘s not making life difficult this week 🤞🤞 2y
merelybookish @Centique Fortunately things are melting! The driveway was getting pretty narrow. I was thinking of you yesterday actually. My own #hiselderliness was saying he'd like to do one more big trip, ideally to New Zealand. And I thought, well maybe I'd get to meet Paula. 😀 Of course, he's 82 so we'll see. 2y
Centique @merelybookish I would love that!! Have only had one international visitor in over 2 years now, so it would be a total joy. 💕 Best wishes to your His Elderliness and fingers crossed! 2y
merelybookish @Centique I'll keep you posted! 😁 2y
