Day 2-118 -- Calm Morning White

I woke early today after a restless night. It was cold overnight so it wasn't a surprise to see snow falling when I looked out the window. It was calm and quiet as I swept the snow off the car. The ground was wet and at the parking lot it was covered with slush and pools of water. It snowed for 2 or 3 hours. When I left to head home from the office this evening, there was no sign that anything had happened. Everything melted even though the temperature was only about 3C today.

Briefly the snow made the world white and clean again. Spring is a messy season with mud and dirty ice and snow -- all the sand and gravel left behind from coping with slipperiness of frozen precipitation. A quick respite with something clean looking was welcomed. It was odd to have the snow falling but it didn't make me feel distressed as it would have a month or more ago. It was clear that this snow would not last long.  A picturesque morning was a good start to the day.

The selection for today addresses the beauty of a morning. It has been around for a long time and has been covered by many artists. I enjoy this song in most versions, but really love the piano and acoustic guitar in the version shared here today. Enjoy!
