Waking Up To Snow...

What is more romantic than that ?

Having lived over thirty years without it, I now love every little flake that falls. Isn't it amazing that every snowflake has an individual shape ?

Waking up in the morning and espying that first glimmer of white through the window, is eternally magical and somehow reminds one of Christmas, Gluewein and Carols. Naturally I realize that there are a few negatives to snow...

  • wet shoes and trousers
  • scraping the ice and snow of the car, before driving anywhere
  • a muddy and wet entrance hall ( extra cleaning )
  • undignified falls while wading through the snow
being some of them !

But these few points are easily outweighed by some of the following :

  • building a snowman
  • hearing the crunch of snow under your feet, as you go for a walk
  • a chance to show off all your ' snow-gear '
  • having snowball fights
  • going skiing, skating, or simply sledding down the nearest hill
  • of course the best is, knowing that Christmas is not far off...

What do you do, when it snows ? Let me know...

How great is this ?

Driving can be hazardous !
