SNOOOOWWWW!

I love snow! I love the way it makes the ground look like it's covered with marshmallow cream. I love the way the trees look like lace against the sky. I love the way it smells, clean and fresh. I love to see little critter footprints making a pattern across the yard. I love the way it makes the world seem a little quieter. I love snow............until April 1.
On April 1, I'm done with snow. I'm ready for spring. I'm ready for warmer temperatures and flowers. I'm ready for baby birds chirping hungrily for food from mombird. I'm ready for shorts and sandals. I'm ready for sunshine.
There's an inch of snow on the ground this morning. Flakes are falling lazily from the sky. The wind is brisk and chilly. Spring, where did you go?
