Pullman is flocked

Pullman has magically transformed over the past few days. I'm sure the more poetic of us could describe it better, but to me it looks like Santa's Wonderland at the local mall.

A freezing fog came through the Palouse on Tuesday, and the whole area is now frosted over. It is breathtaking (like the winter weather version of Elvis in his black leather outfit from '68), but it looks completely fake. It really does look like a department store has gone crazy with the artificial snow and has sprayed all the trees with it. It is sparkling and glistening, and to prove how weird it looks I have included a picture. Please to be looking at that and then agreeing with me.

Nice postscript: I took this picture from my front step and just ran out barefooted. I was busted for doing this (since I am constantly lecturing people to wear their coats, or gloves, or socks--oh, Laura, who doesn't wear socks in December?--I'm sure it was fun for this person to catch me not following my own advice) because I left my nice little footprint on the porch. Ah, walking in a winter wonderland, sans shoes.
