Playing in the Snow!


I finally went outside today and took a few pictures of our snow,
it seems to have snuck up on us very suddenly about a week ago.
Trust me I was not ready, I still had water in my fountain,
plants in my flower beds, leaves to be raked, and plenty more to do.
Today I sat on one of the chairs and breathed in the fresh air.
That was heaven in itself, the air was so crisp and fresh,
After a few breaths I felt as though I was slowly coming to life,
as if the strings that had been attached to my limbs were being kicked off.
I threw a few snowballs at the dogs, they seemed dumfounded to see these balls of white
disapear as they splat on the ground in front of them.
Yes I had energy once more, so I decided I would shovel some of the walks
for exercise and to help my husband. It was that really heavy wet snow,
I went slow but sure, sat and rested a few times, threw more snowballs and proceeded
until the job was done.
It felt warmer, still cloudy, but somehow warmer,
Back into the house I went and made myself a hot cup of tea!
The dogs were just barking and when I opened the back door,
I heard the most beautiful sound, it was that of a bunch of birds,
chirping, playing, dancing,
as if they were sent by my friends whom also danced
and they sang in my heart today as well.
I grabbed my coat and went and sat delighted at how the day had unwound right before my eyes!
It was beautiful. peaceful, serene, refreshing, entertaining, delightful.
For a while today
It was my Best day!

  3. Well, I did dance for the sun for you as promised even though the rain fell continuously out of the sky for me.

    But, when I hear you tell about this delightful day, it's fairly clear that the sun lives in your heart and how it looks outside really matters not at all.

    Another thing I love about you.

  5. Sounds like you had a great day playing with the dogs and accomplishing a big job of shoveling snow. You keep passing along a positive attitude in your blog and sometimes I really need your reminders. You keep changing the background in your blog and each one is better and better.

  6. TechnoBbe, I love changing the backgroounds, just to see the differences, thats the artist in me I guess. I am glad if anything I write helps.

    Beth, we have had snow for about a week, 10 days, we usually don't get it until November, the odd time even in December. I fought it all last week and decided today well if it is here I am going to enjoy it! It is a reminder that I have to get outside everyday. I bet you capture some great winter shots. Hopefully we have more days of fall first though.

    Holly whaat a kind thing to say!, i thought get out there and live with it, make the most of the day, it did change my whole outlook.

    Bernie, I hope to have energy tomorrow so I can accomplish getting things done, p.s it is supposed to be sunny so I think the day should be great for us both.

  8. sneaux, as Beth would say with a sneer ... but oh, does it sound beautiful! Accompanied by birds and energy and snowballs ... I haven't seen snow in donkeys' years, let alone made or thrown a snowball!

  9. Toni, today the sun is shining and it could be gone in a couple days which I am thrilled about or it would be a very long winter. I love it but just not yet. I Forget that there are things that I can do here that others can't, then again you can do so much more there.Have a great weekend, hope you do something fun. Friday will go by quick, I know how you don't like them. love to you.

  11. Snow...hmmmm...something we don't see allot here and glad of it. The ocean has a way of keeping the air warmer throughout the winter. Last year we weren't that lucky and got allot of snow....but it simply isn't the norm. Glad you had a wee burst of energy won't your husband be surpised when he gets home!! :)

  13. Hi Cora, nice to have you drop by, I am glad you will be coming back. Have a great weekend too. Be well.

    Hi Crista, you would laugh because today all the snow melted, so all that effort yesterday was for nothing I guess, but it was so cold, I really did not think that the snow would go. Hope you have a great weekend and are well. Take care.

    Margie,Have a great weekend, I hope you have a great time. You seem to be whisked away a lot. lucky you. Take care,

  14. HI CINNER-

    I love being outside when it snows. I was right with you, shoveling, tossing snow balls, breathing deeply, rosy cheeks and feeling alive, so alive. And then a nice hot cup of tea - there are some things I believe we could talk about - places where my story is yours and your is mine. I feel that is true. One day, yes, one day indeed.

    And Cinner? Thanks for being you.

    Love Gail
    peace......

  17. I am glad that you had a good day....I smiled as I saw that you threw snowballs at the dogs...and their reactions to the white orbs flying toward them...but missing them!! How fun...for you and for them. I'm happy that you had a good day, my friend. The chirruping of the birds set the perfect tone.
    Smiles from Jackie
