feathery flakes of white gently floating lazily spiraling dizzily falling drifting slowly to the ground not much accumulation but ohhhhhhhh so much fun!
and i am free to be a kid again remembering snowfalls of my youth in north central ohio trying to recapture the magic i felt as a kid in ohio now living in north central texas i haven't seen a good snow for a while look at it its S N O W I N G i'm going outside to play i want to get out IN it
I WANT TO BE A PART OF IT
raising my face to the sky watching the snowflakes gently floating lazily spiraling dizzily falling drifting slowly to the ground hypnotized by the beauty of it all
trying to catch snowflakes on my tongue in my mouth laughing when i miss laughing when i trip over my feet because i'm not watching where i'm going my face is caressed with whisper softness phooo that one went up my nose that one went behind my glasses my brunette hair suddenly turns white i become an instant senior citizen
but who cares i don't the snowfall makes me feel like a child again i make a snow angel laying on my back i watch the snow gently floating lazily spiraling dizzily falling
i hope it continues maybe then i can build a snowman

Great write, both yours and michelles are of the same kinda ilk, bloody great..
Ah yes, a first snowfall in a long time Karla, I can imagine from your description just how it is. Your buddy Rufuz loves, did I say loves? well I meant !LOVES! the snow. His first act is to lay in it and make his puppy angels, just as you make your little snow angel. He always wants me to throw snow at him, seems to like it, LOL! Anyway we are getting a light covering tonight here, prior to the temps rising and rain coming to wash it away...Thank you so much for this wonderful posting, nothing like remembering what it was like to be a kid again and that first snowfall...Find Peace, Ed & Rufuz
