The world is new—the first snowfall is always the first the world ever had—I walked to work this morning in high spirits –
A noon looking out of the back window at a redbird – The endless joy of watching snow fall; the old grape arbor, the dead bush, the crude yellow & red houses — how good it seems that they exist –
