Snow!

[autographedcat]

Yay, snow! It snowed it snowed it snowed!

Living my entire life in the southeastern United States, snow has never been the sort of thing we got enough of really lose its fascination. I love waking up and finding a soft blanket of white covering everything, seeing the frost in the trees and the air being impossibly crisp.

I love standing outside in the dark when the snow is falling heavy around me. I love curling up next to a fire with a good book, while outside heaven drifts down to the earth in tiny flakes.

Yeah, I like snow. Even if it's just a half and inch and the whole city shuts down as a result. Folks from up north like to make fun of us for this, but I don't care. I know the reasons, and I know that it will just be a memory in two days time. There's no need to shovel, or salt the roads, or do any of those things, because it's just a moment, and the moment will soon be gone.

But until then, there's snow, and I am seven years old again and school is closed and mom has told me I can go out and play until lunchtime.

Bliss.
