It really is! Oh my Gosh, the girls and I are in heaven! It was just earlier today, that I was flipping through files on the computer and came across this cool little piece of art that I saved from a long time ago. I thought to myself, "Geez, it really would be fun to live in a place where you get to see and experience the beauty of a snowflake, every now and then!" Fast forward to this very moment, and here I am writing about snow that really is falling in my very own backyard, after 4 long years of not seeing it appear in our city!!!
We are having tons of fun watching the tiny specks of melting ice float to the ground. The sky is full of clouds, and Ayla has glittering clumps of frozen raindrops decorating her golden hair. We are twirling like dervishes, surrounded by hundreds of miniature snowflakes falling from the sky! Even our itty bitty, 4-lb yorkie name Penelope, is running towards the window hoping to get into the action. I can see what looks like a thin blanket of white powder, beginning to collect at the eave of our dark gray roof. As quickly as it comes, it is melting away.
It's a day to make memories, as I watch the girls jump from place to place, looking for evidence of what we in Houston, call "snow". It will also be the perfect winter night to spend cozening up by the fire, with homemade soup on the stove, and these Christmas tunes playing in the background.
Somehow, I hope that you will also get the chance to see the thrill and wonderment held in the eyes of little ones as they see snow, perhaps for the very first time! :-)
Sending you lots of love to warm you on this cold winter day...
Xoxo,
~Elizabeth
