[Magdalen] Safely home

[Molly Wolf]

High winter here has, on occasion, days of such brilliance and beauty that they keep a person going for a long, long time.  And even less-than-brilliant days often have what the French call "l'heure bleu," a moment at twilight when the snow reflects back an almost electric blue.

I've spent my whole life with Real Winters, some mild, some brutal, and I'm winter-adapted and would not I think, be happy without it.
