December's End. Forecast for Snow.
"Some people love waking to the sight of new snow. Fallen snow is fine, but I like the sight of it falling, fine as dust or so fat you can hear it land against the kitchen window. I like the tunnel of dry snow you drive through at night, the headlights blanking out a few yards ahead, and the feeling that you're driving into some abysmal vacuum. I like the ground-blizzards and the snow that slithers down the road ahead of you. What I like is the visual impairment snow brings with it, the way it obscures some things and defines others, like the wind." - ---Verlyn Klinkenborg from The Rural Life
Haven't seen it here in Europe, but for some reason this made me smile...

Tell me about it!! He is hot, hot, hot!! I missed this week's episode though since I'm out of town, but I will have to watch it when I get home. What a hottie! (oh wait, I already said that, didn't I?)
ReplyDeleteI agree! Do you know you can watch it on Masterpiece Theatre's website if you miss it Sunday evenings? (and even if you catch it Sunday, a repeat of Aurelio Zen wouldn't be a hardship!)
