WINTER in the AIR

"...under the hard and bitter rind of winter, there is much loveliness.
The white mystery of snow is a splendid thing; all the landscape is muted to deep silver laced with blue shadows.

The meadow is a sea of pearl with scattered dark masts of brier riding the foam.

The cool, clean smell of snow is in the air, a special fragrance known only to winter country."
