Last night in the clear afterglow the houses had a strange, evil look – a foreboding of something about to happen –
This morning a blizzard from S.E. –
The snow is a wild waving monster pawing down from the sky...
I would be so sensitive to Nature’s moods – so close that a coming change would make itself known in the look of a house hours or even days in advance –
