The weather took off the kid gloves this afternoon and started to play rough. Suddenly there was a biting wind and drifting snow, crashing off the trees and filling up our footsteps and the deep tractor tracks from yesterday. I spent the afternoon packing up Christmas as the daylight disappeared. Only the lights on the tree outside remain, gamely blinking on and off in the face of the blizzard.
