There's a smell in the winter that you can't find anywhere but right outside, right after a heavy snowfall... It's the smell of wet, of clean, of leaves, and...well...peace.

Hi Anne-Lise. Sending you congratulations for your winning placement. I love the contrast in the first line between "downy" and the hard edge of "crystals." Slippery porch indeed! All those downy crystals piled up can look like pillows! hugs...
