The First Blizzard

Snow is falling heavily by the minute from the whitest sky, which yesterday... had me fooled for a perfect spring day. Fall, pretty and fluffy snowflakes, fall... floating and gracefully coming down on the frozen hollies with empty nests. The breath-taking snowy spectacle can make one fantasize and dream... oh, I'm dreaming by feeling the chill! Little sparrows searching for shelter, don't brave the dangerous blizzard... step inside quickly and keep warm. Driving in snow and ice is very hazardous, I'm staying home and listen to the forecast... it won't get any better as the day progresses. How much snow will fall, I cannot predict, and the weather man is as puzzled as I am... it would be embarassing to be wrong again. Sweet, hot chocolate and lemon tea are my choices, to prevent chills from entering these unwilling bones... before venturing outside and shovel plenty of snow. Copyright 2010 by Andrew Crisci
