Description
That morning, we awoke to the silence of snow—the first snowfall that winter, like white gauze, an inch thick on the cars and lawn and pavement, exhilaratingly blank after the red and yellow color-chaos of autumn. I looked out the window and pulled my winter boots from the closet, tugging my husband to join me for a walk before breakfast. Two months married, we bundled ourselves into knitted hats and scarves and gloves and made our way to the river trail, listening to the muffled sound of our feet leaving prints in the snow.
