“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, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
This is the third year in a row we've had snow in October. Winter is definitely rushing autumn again . . .
