Winter Magic

“January brings the snow, makes our feet and fingers glow.” —Sara Coleridge Winter Magic Something wholly bright outside my window. What a sight! Crisp, fallen, new. Oh! How the smattering of flakes grew! The contrast against the night, so angel white, a virgin light. No human feet have impressed the Winter sheet. I pull on each boot. I give a holler and hoot. So excited am I, to expand each lung, to catch manna on my tongue.

Good for you. Me? -- I look at snow and see ice, traffic accidents, nasty falls, and glum days ahead. ~ Mr. Optimistic

We don’t get much therefore people stay in. Stay safe.

I love running out and tromping through freshly fallen snow. Like you, I enjoy watching 'the smattering of flakes grow.' I sincerely enjoyed your winter magic creation. Have a splendid evening, Sara
