Gentlemen at breakfast

This is the view from home this morning. Last night clouds moved in and left snow swirling around the house at midnight.

SNOWY MOUNTAINS

A sudden snowfall comes in darkness,
black clouds hang, heavy and somber.
The mountains also can get grey hair:
don't be surprised that their sides are turning white!
