Sometimes, It Takes Very Little

There was snow on the ground when I got up at 4:30. A little while later, it was sleeting, about an hour ago it was raining, and now (8:17 am) it’s not doing much of anything.
I was ecstatic for myself – it’s Saturday and thus, was not required to venture forth – but not envying Peter, who had to drive his entire family to Boston for a conference this morning.
