I feel comfort as i look out my dining room window at the quarter sized flakes falling from a dark sky. The flakes are so big they float like feathers, swinging left to right. They are heavy and melt as they hit the window. I can feel the cool glass next to my cheek as I peer out at the yard. I am warm. I am happy. I am safe.
Safe from freezing temperatures and high winds. Safe from car accidents, and hypothermia. As long as I am here at this window in my warm home I am safe. I have no desire to venture out of doors. The sidewalk needs to be shoveled, as it has so many times before. I am done with that. I am fine if my car can't make it out of my driveway. Hibernation is number one of my list of things to do today.
You almost make me "like" snow. Only if I could stay inside, read a book, have popcorn, sit by the fireplace....We have way too much wind with our big snowflakes for it to be much fun. But...loved your descriptive story!

ReplyDeleteYup, it sure is a nice feeling to be indoors and safe and just watch the beauty of it all.
