All it took was one little wish — one child’s request to the night sky, “Pleeease let it snow!”
And thwump! Down piled the white stuff, along with howling winds and crackling trees and branches, all blustery night long.
Our house, which had nervously and miraculously transformed from December blah to seasonal wow! over the weekend looks perfectly Harrowsmith-esque it its white and green.
Liliana stepped back from the front doors and announced how facial the entranceway appears with its emerald eyes and plaited hair.
Not quite the come-hither glance of a comely maiden but we get the point.
And I just love how anyone younger than 14 sees the snow for what it is — a gift from the sky.
A reason for snowpants, mittens, toque and scarf.
Forget the grumbling, scraping, shovelling, cancelled flights and slippery roads.
A lesson for me — embrace the winter.
Have you hugged a snowman today?
