light smooths, soothes curves; walk 

in sleeping prisms' peace

 

sight's a white wall, smell's all,

cold's hungry, move or freeze

We can enjoy its effect, but the animals  have to try to survive it. Rhiannon

I always love the way that a fall of snow makes everything look beautiful, just as you have described so well and succinctly in your first two lines.

Even the ugliest places can be transformed to a pure and sparkling heaven. When I was wee I lived in Middlesbrough, and marvelled at how this natural phenomenon could bring beauty and peace to such a dirty noise of heavy industry. Miraculous!

And by

cold's hungry, move or freeze

I suppose that could even include adopting a family that will provide food and a bed along with flea treatment, vaccinations and eventual neutering. It’s funny how nature works.

I don’t know how I missed this from the other day. Maybe it’s because the letter S is in a different place in your Latin alphabet than in our Cyrillic alphabet. Have you ever heard a lamer excuse?

It is the most erudite excuse :0) It is your previous comments also Celticman's Twosies and Threesies which filtered through the fluff in my brain for this one. Do you have a gold loyalty card for the vet? 

Thankyou very much for reading and your brilliant excuse :0)
