How much snow did you get?

"Is it still snowing? And did you bring me back something? I really wanted ice cream."

The snow stopped some time ago. We didn't pick anything up, but we did see some nice scenes. Most of the trees looked like this...

(No, I didn't bring you anything, but you can enjoy the scene with me ... by the way, I really like snow, it satisfies the poet in me ...)

Fog Flowers

I like to call them Fog Flowers, those tiny crystals of rain.
They carpet the world in silence, they glorify dirt in the lane.
There seems all a hush to their presence, the softest tinkle of sound,
And even the animals quiet, as a blanket descends on the town.

Some look upon it as frigid, but warming and soft is the throw,
The flowers asleep in the garden, will snuggle and smile under snow.
“But it makes the road too slippery!” I hear the complaints starting now.
As it furrows and windblows and softens, the marks that were left by the plow.

You seem to not understand it, this miracle silently wrought.
For where will you go now to find it, when this is what you have sought?
A promise of hope from your Father, a gentle reminder of love,
Each entity fallen from Heaven, is getting a kiss from above.

Thanks! It's almost as good as ice cream.

Here's something to keep you laughing for a while:

"How much snow did you get?"

In our immediate locale, only about seven inches. Places West of us got twenty inches or more.

Yup.

Anyone would look bad in that.

I have them in my Favorites so I can read them over and over...when I feel really down. They work wonders for me.

I liked this one:

"I don't care, we are not having an anatomically correct snowman in the front yard"

LOL!!

I thought about mentioning the ice cream scoop with my post of the picture of the snowman, but I thought you might not understand.

Shoulda known better ...
