What is it about waking up to a coating of snow that makes one feel like a child again? I was so delighted I had to come downstairs and find JBL (already working away in his office).
It is quiet and cold. Every tree's limb is delineated with an inch of white powder. The crows call to each other across the field. The sky is gray and promising.
I know as soon as J wakes up she will want to go outside and play in it. There will be angels. There will be piles gathered and mittens licked. (Do all children like to taste handfuls of snow like J? She also loves sucking on icicles like lollipops.) There will be clomping boots.
We are supposed to have rain later, and that will probably spell doom for the snow just fallen. But for now - with the Christmas tree still glowing merrily in the family room - it is a perfect winter wonderland.
