It was a perfect winter day, beautiful beyond description. The hills covered with round domes of snow, the sky a smooth flat expanse of gray, & the fine slanting snow; at times the sun showing a pale blue disc, which illuminated the whole air & earth with a blinding white glow so that it was hard to tell the hilltops from the sky.
