Diamonds
I know I'm not the only one in the area who feels that this has been a crazy winter. Two days ago it was 50 degrees outside....today I was able to take a picture of fresh snow. As much as I may dislike snow because it hinders my travel, there is something special about it. I remember this on the first snow fall of the year when I see no less than 6-8 kids spontaneously run from their seats and look outside to see the snow. Their faces are so sweet as they turn and yell, "It's snowing!!" This causes at least one or two more to run over to make sure it really is snowing. It's pretty adorable.
I think I love this winter event so much because it reminds me to stop and be fascinated by the beauty falling from the sky. It makes me remember to stop once and a while and view the world from a child's point of view. When I was little I loved going out to the shop with my dad. There were always so many interesting things to see. I remember walking to the shop with dad one afternoon after it snowed and noticing how glittery the new snow was. It was so bright it hurt my eyes, but that didn't stop me from pretending that I was walking on a carpet of diamonds. I felt like the richest little girl in the world.
