First snowfall in Kitsilano! It is only tiny, but from my bedroom window I can see the least powdered-sugar dusting on the rooftops across the street.
On the twelfth day of Christmas,
timeripple sent to me...

Twelve microscopes drumming
Eleven epics piping
Ten fiddleheads a-leaping
Nine swords dancing
Eight pre-socratics a-milking
Seven books a-swimming
Six movies a-fiddling
Five cla-a-a-assics
Four quantum mechanics
Three fairy tales
Two lytechinus variegatus
...and a homer in an astronomy.
