The haze of summer lingers
but has lost its grip.
A cool breeze slips through.

Lightning & fireflies

And lavender’s first harvest. 

Redbud bursting soon

Lit by pink sunset

Framed by oak branches

Though most of the east coast has been hammered with snow, here in Lancaster County we are for the first time this winter, on March 5, getting an actual snowstorm of more than an inch or two. And I am getting an actual snow day, which means that I can work from home and enjoy the peacefulness of snow falling. I love the patterns of branches against a white backdrop. 

And our majestic tree lightly frosted. 

The backyard has some surprising touches of color. 

And the snow continues to fall. . .
