The recent snow wasn't very deep but it was very welcome because it arrived on Christmas Eve and inspired a festive holiday spirit. Now, four days later, the thermometer has climbed above freezing and the snow is disappearing quickly; the streets and sidewalks are salt-stained and the expanding patches of grass are brown. It is all very dirty and ugly without a closer look. This little ceramic bird huddled on a ledge outside the back door, totally submerged in the snow until this morning. It almost appears as if he will soon lift his head and rejoice in the sunlight.
