Snow falling on Spring Street

There are three pine trees sitting on the sidewalk outside my apartment. They await disposal. Until this morning one was still standing in its tree stand. A passerby commented on it.

Usually, the sight of thrown-out Christmas trees makes me a little sad for the passing holiday season. But this year I am excited for the new year. And in the rain, the needles gave off a scent that seems to permeate the entire block. Closing my eyes, I could be transported to the Pacific northwest. Posted by eku at January 6, 2005 9:04 PM
