The snow walked in Charleston last night.

The literal translation of "it snowed" in Russian is "the snow walked". We Russian students back at DLI used to get a big chuckle out of that - and a lot of other translations, to be sure.

Last night, the snow did its once-a-decade walk in Charleston. This morning, on the day before Valentine's Day, it looked like this.



Out back, I had my very own fairy forest.

OK, so I've been dipping in the paint pot a bit. I only messed with the one below a little...

That magnolia was trying its best to not shiver.

Hang on, Magnolia - the sun's coming out! It'll all be gone in an hour.

I heard you Charlestonians were going to have some "snyek". Did you walk in the walking snow?

Nope, I had enough snyek walking growing up in the snyek belt - just as you did!
