Snow!!!

This is THE most magical day of the year,

The morning we wake up to the seasons 1st snow fall.

7am brought shrieks & screams

& children jumping on my bed.

Snowpants on, digging through the hat/scarf basket & out the door they ran.

This morning called for a pot of hot tea & warm quinoa porridge.

Savoring the stillness of it all before the busy day ahead.

Looking out at the vastness of white

Snow had fallen throughout the night

Footprints in the virgin snow

From whom they come I do not know

Winter it has come at last

Can’t even see one blade of grass

Ice it forms on the lake

But not thick enough to take ones weight

Soon the kids will be here

Sleds out and snow ball spheres

Making angels in the virgin snow

And having fun wherever they go

The day goes and darkness comes

Kids gone home to there mums

The snow falls throughout the night

Erasing all that days snow fights

A clean sheet in the morning light

Ready for that days snow fight.

May you find stillness & beauty in your day!

Three cheers for SNOW!
