Snow Falling on Cedar Shingles

Snow Falling on Cedar Shingles
Snow Falling on Cedar Shingles

A parting glimpse of the boathouse blurred beyond veil of soggy snowflakes. Southwestern sirens are calling me away — by ferry, airplane and rental jalopy — so I leave the homestead in the able care of my bride and my dog for a few days. I’m willing deep drifts of powdery snow upon my return!

By the way, if “snow falling on cedar…” rings a bell, there’s a reason why: an amazing novel, Snow Falling on Cedars, by David Guterson. Read it. You won’t regret it. But don’t waste too much time trying to decipher the similarity between the title I used for this snapshot and Guterson’s. No hidden meaning. Just a descriptive reference to Rosslyn’s boathouse roof which received a new shingle roof a couple of summers ago.

    Hello George,

    Very manly photo, compared to my memory of a very young man, hardly more than a boy. Happy New Year to you and yours, Helene

      Greetings and welcome, Helene. Not sure how *manly* the photo is, mostly just fuzzy. Or perhaps that the nature of men… A bit fuzzy and out of focus!? 😉 Great to reconnect after too many years. I hope that your year is off to a jolly start. And you can rest assured, I’m still hardly more than a boy. Sometimes hardly that!
