Worthy of Reflection

It was said that every day of his long life -- 85 years, I believe -- Thomas Jefferson washed his feet in cold water.

...And last night, at around 9:30, it snowed slightly, though nothing more needed to be added to the snow that is still here in this unceasingly frigid and stormy winter. There are still three or four inches covering the ground from the snow of three or four weeks ago, in our lower garden in the places closest to the creek.
