An Angel in the Snow Colette O'Neill 13 years ago The wind howled all night as it carried snow in from the Atlantic Ocean. The moon drifted downwards as the sun rose. Somewhere in-between I got up and lit the stove, walked the dogs and returned to settle into a hunker-down day in the cottage. As I write, the dogs are in their baskets and the cats are lounging on the sofas. Animals know when it’s cold and really appreciate being indoors! Che-Mousy-Bear is purring loudly on the sofa nearby my desk. Sam sits opposite. Stereo purring! This kind of weather often makes an appearance after Spring has been called. The Primroses and Daffodils don’t seem to mind. They know it won’t last! The snow is soft and fluffy with little ice and no frost. The wind has settled down and the sun is shining. Today I shall work in the tunnel, sowing herbs and pumpkins…it’s Spring, even if there is snow! Indoors I am sorting seed and making Smudge Sticks for sale in the Bealtaine Cottage Shop. A big pot of vegetable soup is on the menu…just the thing on a snowy day! http://www.etsy.com/shop/BealtaineCottage Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window) WhatsApp Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window) LinkedIn Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Print (Opens in new window) Print Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Share on Telegram (Opens in new window) Telegram Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email
