-->“Every winter now my thoughts return to snow.
Snow is something I identify myself with.
Like my father, I am a snow person.”
Charlie English

Another batch of fluffy white snow
Fell from the heavens last night
Tater woke me long before dawn
Snowfall fills both of us with delight
Both of us know that the arrival of this new snow
Is much better than the recent Arctic Twenty Below
Tater attempts to prod me, and brings me his leash
I dress as quickly as I can, so the two of us can go
And soon, the two of us are out the door
Surveying our new snow-covered landscape
I could never live anywhere, not having snow
For the next batch of snow, I always seem to wait
Snow has been a part of my life since my childhood
I so relished playing in it, as now my loyal canines do
Some people curse and moan, whenever the snow arrives
For me, the soothing white snowflakes never make me blue
And whenever it snows, I soon find myself walking in its midst
Everything now magically covered by billions of tiny snowflakes
This early morn, I let good old Tater lead the way through the snow
Yet one more long, enchanting, magical, snowy morning walk awaits

It's been some time since we've had snow here in Southwest Houston. She's looking so forward to it like an inpatient child.
Speaking of dogs and snow. Big dogs like to romp in it, while little dogs struggle to do their poopies and hurry to get back inside where it's warm.

I've not seen snow for a few years.
thought you lived "out in the Boonies" ?
so why are all those cars there in the pic?
as always a very fine tribute to Poesy...
bet Ole Tater had a very White Nosey!
Ah... White... the symbol of Innocence...
but people like me stay inside... warmed by the fire...
'cause we got more Sense !!!
We had about 4-6 inches in my neck of the woods...
but the road crews did a great job clearing...
mostly Black-top as Honda n I delivered our Scripts!
Just enough to make it Pretty for a short while...
that's how I like it ....
Yesterday Rain all day... washed away most of the Snow n Ice...
Today ... lovely Sunshine...
Down here in Bawlmer they say:
"If you dont like the weather... wait Five Minutes...
it will Change!"
