Oh, and another S - the stars have been fabulous these freezing nights . A few moments standing under a starry sky give me a whole better perspeective on things....
..include snow - just enough to transform everything, sunshine - just enough to make the snow sparkle, snowdriops - beginning to open and make it worth a walk round the village, and saxifrage - waiting for me at the supermarket. They may not be up to the below freezing temperatures, having been coddled in vans and supermarket, so are in the greenhouse under fleece for now, but will soon be on the porch.

When I arose at Six, husband and dog were stilling Sleeping and softly Snoring. I put on my coat and, with a Shovel, cleared front steps of ice and Snow. Then I sprinkled Salt on the steps

Beautiful post. It reminds me of Liz Lochead’s poem In the Mid Mid-Winter - ‘ the light always comes back, the light always comes back...’
