We were beginning to forget what it felt like to experience snow, but the snow fairy visited this morning and gave us a mild reminder. She just sugared the spruce tips and leaves – yes, we still have some leaves – and lightly covered the landscape with a thin blanket.
Every now and then, a lost snowflake will drift by the window. Maybe she isn’t done.
But it was a harsh reminder of our laziness during our warm November. We left the deck furniture out too long and failed to put in the snow stakes along the driveway.
Looks like we’ll miss some good football this afternoon while doing those chores. (Images taken in Brooklin, Maine, on November 27, 2021.)
