Winter Magic


"I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, 'Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.'"
- Lewis Carroll


In winter’s cold blast
Window’s form icy crystals
Fairy dust falls as star flakes
	
Lawns all white, glisten
Moons’ silver bestows magic
Snow veil warps you in slumber

I like it for a few days as long as can play in it...snow angels and making snow mermaids are fun!

I love to watch snow falling Jeanne, but in South Africa in the Gauteng, a province of our country, it snows maybe once in every 4 or 5 years, cars even stop in the yellow lines on the highways, because it does not last long. About 2 years ago it snowed as we were returning home from a meeting, se we pulled off the highway, and made snow balls to throw at one another, two grown up people acting like children. I have faved this poem brilliant. Hugs Jennifer.

Jennifrer, thanks so much for sharing a bit of your childhood memories...it is still a fav thing to throw snowballs or make snow angels...though since moving to Mexico I don't spend my winters in snow anymore...but still love a few days of it when I get a chance.

A 3 day vacation is about all I want to enjoy the snow...curl up by the fire with hot chocolate after a good snow ball fight....lol

Good Morning Anne-Lise...I have to agree with you...it's my least fav season unless I only have to spend 3-4 days playing in fresh snow with a hot tub close by to warm up in.
