Snow on a Winter Day
 

As the snow falls so gracefully On a bitter winter day The little kids watch in fascination As they beg their parents to go out to play. When I look out the window, I see a city covered by a white blanket And snowflakes that fall so peacefully Like frozen tears falling down A broken soul’s cheeks As they continue crying silently Until they shed their last tear. The snow falls and falls Creating a winter-wonder-land Each snowflake a different size While they in a way Soar through the sky like birds with wings They look so perfect In they’re angelic way Since it seems like They’re God’s gift sent from heaven As they keep falling down One at a time So peacefully, it seems like the whole world stopped And the only thing living Are the little kids playing outside With the little kids playing outside With their little red noses And rosy red cheeks. The snow finally stopped And the whole world is alive again But twas a shame that it couldn’t snow For a few more hours Since now the kids must go inside To take showers and dress in warmer clothes And to maybe drink hot chocolate too So I watch them complain About how the rest of the day will be dull. The little children go to bed And the snow starts to fall Oh so soft once more But the difference is That earlier it fell harshly And now it falls with such grace As if in a way was Tucking in the whole neighborhood With it’s soft white blanket Is the most precious sight in the world And anyone that missed it Is at a great loss Since the snow is as bright as white; As white as it can possibly be So precious; gentle— As cool and blue Almost like ‘white dirt’ So tremendously beautiful, it hurts. Ashes to Roses

Happy Dress Up Your Pet Day

[Billie]

Good Morning, Billie! Are you hostessing today?

Hi, Jaycee, sorry I didn't answer your post earlier, and I didn't know that the server had been down either. I've been out galavanting around today. :) Back to see that Amy didn't get to post today's opening for awhile. Hope the problems with the server are fixed now.

[lonestar]

Too funny!

How about a touch of Spring!

Wonderful snow poem and graphic, LadyJ. Thank you.

Our fog finally cleared about noon. I hope your ice starts to thaw soon.

Have a Warm Fuzzy Wednesday. STAY WARM!!

I didn’t think anything about it. We all come and go at times...I know I do. I finally went to the grocery store. I had a trunk load of groceries and stopped and picked up Chinese. Its tough putting away groceries and cooking too.

I still have the dry stuff in bags in the floor. Have to get them put away as soon as I take an Aleve.

See ya’ll later! It is freezing here. I haven’t been warm all day.

Interesting to see everyone's choice of coffee or hot tea. :) I like my morning coffee just black - but not necessarily strong. If I have any later in the day, then I enjoy it flavored or sweetened with creamer. My favorite Starbucks cup is just a regular latte with 1 sweet & low.

I also like hot tea in the winter - don't want that sweet either, but do like it citrus'y. Lipton Orange & Spice flavored Black Tea is my pick. :)

What Would People Do Without Their Pets?

I don't want to even think about it. :) That snow face is adorable!

I know - you can’t play your accordion until you have your morning coffee and your fingers get warmed up. :)
