snow on 22nd street

"I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again." — Lewis Carroll

Its snowing here in the District tonight 

and its not supposed to stop until early morning.

Our street looks staggeringly beautiful.

A wonderland. 

And just like that I have fallen all the more 

in love with this new little home of ours. 

Now if only we could have a snow day tomorrow...

I've already done what I promised myself 

I wouldnt - I have my hopes up 

way too high for just such a break.

I'm afraid I wont take the fall very well 

if there isnt at least a delay.
