Snow

Snowing here now. Three inches before morning, they say. Thick, perfect, blissful snow, falling like an infant's sleep.

The house is quiet, there's a stew on the stove, and outside the snow is falling like a blessing. Tomorrow it'll probaby be wet and sloppy, but for tonight it's perfect, and the bracnhes on the trees and the needles on the pines are stacked in white.

Nature always shows such meticulous care, whether we notice or not, and at times this ugly world is so lousy with beauty it could break your heart.

Beautiful words.

I miss the snow.

Mmm, dreamy like hot chocolate with marshmellows, and yes, but don't break the splendour, as nature is just as uncaring and violent as she is nurturing.

As a child, I discovered that at night, you can use snowflakes to get a feeling of flight. You stand in the yard, with only background lights on, and face the direction from which the snow is falling. If you extend your arms to either side and open your eyes wide, the snowflakes rushing past your face will give you the illusion you’ve left the earth and taken flight.

I thought I was the only one who knew that! *L* That was my game!

You can do a similar truck if you're driving on the highway in the snow. After a while the car starts to lift up and fly into the sky. I've done that trick a few times.

Yeah me too, though not intentionally, which is unnerving to say the least....

We got the first big dump of snow last week. Right at the tail end of February. It was only 15 cm of snow or something, but it has been the biggest dump of snow we have seen in years. If only this had been earlier in the winter and more of them, then we'd be having winters like we had in the early nineties but alas, no slice.

However, I'm now realising my steel-toed boots make walking in deep snow easier than runners.

What is this thing called snow you speak of?


Lovely words, Doc...
still didn't make me miss the cold white stuff
