Snow does amazing things to the landscape. It can shift the entire mood of a scene in just an hour. Some words that come to mind are peaceful, tranquil and serene.
I attended a showing of "Crazy Like a Fox" last night, a film shot mostly in Loudoun county. This movie portays a seven-generation family forced out of their farm by mounting debt. It was an emotional expererience for me because I often discover abandonded farms while hiking through the county. Old barns become more than icons of the past upon inspection; horse worn floors, hand made iron latches, generational additions, handcut boards, rusted toys.
