A Gentle Snow

Jan
31


We had a long, slow, tender snowfall yesterday.

It began in the night, softly blanketing the hills and trees while we slept. It carried on throughout the day.

Chickens fled, fearful of harsh Winter.

Sometimes, oh yes, sometimes She can be quite cruel.

But this was a gentle snow.

Almost demure.

Even a bit remorseful. Trying to make up.

It was a Saturday. No school, no activities, no driving on scary roads.

And it was as if Winter knew….

….that She was welcome…..

….on the weekend.

My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
