Out of the bosom of the air,
Out of the cloudfolds of her garment shaken,
Over the woodlands, brown and bare
Over the harvest-fields forsaken,
Silent, and soft, and slow
Descends the snow.
~~By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.~~

That is exactly how it is falling here. All day long and not letting up. Stay warm.
What a lovely poem. At the moment, we are having plenty of the silent snow ;o)I must say, the view is breathtaking!
Isn't that pretty! We had snow this afternoon that looked just the same! Stay warm! :)
Great picture, Jo. We have snow tonight also. There's about 1-2 inches out there --and it's still coming down. So pretty.
Hugs,
Betsy

It started snowing here about dark. I don't think we'll actually get very much, but it was coming down hard. I like your picture.
I heard from my KY friends that you had snow. So pretty when it's quiet like that. Enjoy while you can.
The birds/ducks seem to be holding up to the snow well !!
What a beautiful poem, looks and sounds wonderful! Envious of Wales.

Everyone is finally getting some snow. Glad it's just a wee bit.

I love the falling snow...hate to shovel it! We are due for some this weekend. Cuppa and book weather!

No snow here - only cold and sunny which makes a change from mild and grey. Nice to see some blue sky and sun.
What a lovely poem...
Have a nice weekend and take care!
Love,

we saw geese flying south yesterday and we ARE south, maybe they were leaving snow far far behind
Beautiful photo and poem.. we got snow but nothing laid..Susie
What a lovely verse that is so appropriate for your picture and your weather. I hope your safe and tucked in this evening with Oliver!
Oh my I love Longfellow!
Great Photo...thanks for sharing these.
I am quite impressed with your blog and your ability to so eloquently meld these Impeccable Photos with their "Soul Mate Caliber" quotes.
Just in case I have been negligent and have failed to introduce myself...Hello I am Grace...and it's nice to meet you.
(And if perchance I have already introduced myself, please forgive the redundancy lol. My husband and I are both teachers and thus there are Approximately 14.9 Billion Names stores in my head.
Ergo it is best to come clean, confess that after a couple of decades of teaching I have been known to sometimes lose track of names. So, if I have already introduced myself to you, please don't think me daft...losing names is just an occupational hazard of veteran teachers lol.
Again, Thank You for Sharing your Blog-Artistry. I am relatively new to blogging and am enjoying being mesmerized by blogs such as yours.
I will be visiting again soon:)
In Him,
Grace
Very beautiful.
Beautiful! I always enjoy my visits to your blog. Hugs and smooches and wishes for a weekend filled with Happy! P.S. have you entered my pink poodle giveaway yet?
This is a wonderful photo of the snowing and the geese tolerating it.
