Nice, gentle snowflakes falling softly on Christmas eve. That's the ideal picture in so many minds. That may happen in some part of the country this year. A fresh snowfall is hard to beat when it comes to a beautiful sight in December. To wake up in the morning as a child and to look out the window to that sight of all that white stuff covering everything is an amazing thing. Children don't think of shoveling or scrapping car windows. It's just the wonder of the change in your world overnight; from dull gray and brown one day to pristine white the next. I do miss it just a little living here in Florida, especially this time of year. However, I don't miss the cold or wearing heavy coats, gloves, boots, hats and scarves. Wherever you are, cold climate or warm, enjoy the blessings of this season of Christmas and the wonder of it all.
I think you hit on it exactly, what makes snow so magic to wake up to! We rarely get snow here on the southern Jersey shore, so it's always a treat to me, even if there's shoveling to be done (my friend in WI no doubt feels differently!).
ReplyDeleteI love the red birds, and the judicious snowflakes (did you use salt?)--I always put too many!
