Snowfall Dusting

This morning’s snowfall dusting
Was a school-day-off surprise
And so exciting watching through
My grandkids’ eager eyes.

So shortly after breakfast
When I went to feed the birds,
 “I’m coming with you, Nana,”
Were not unexpected words.

There were snowballs, mini-snowmen 
And new paths tramped in the white,
A half an hour's frolic
To my granddaughter’s delight.

My grandson’s choice was waiting
To go out mid-afternoon.
Alas, he should have joined us
At a time more opportune.

For the temps went up and naturally, 
It’s melted all away.
I’m glad, at least, one grandchild
Had the chance for snowy play.

Children need fresh air and exercise, especially during a pandemic, so Harry really missed out! Enjoyed, Ilene! Aloha!
