it snows......

i love the quality of light in the house when it's snowing & there is snow on the ground.
it's almost magical...
there's something about the way it comes in.
there's a glow to it
& the way it changes the colors...
it makes you ::look:: not just see.

it fills me with a quiet sense of right-ness. it conjures images of homemade bread, bean soup &huddling around the woodstove, arms outstretched & fingers splayed, soaking in the heat.

feelings of warm comfort.

scarves, mittens & blankets on the couch...warm & snuggly.

of the conspiritorial whispering of holiday secrets.

of board games with the family on long, dark evenings.
laughing together...passing the time.

of midnight trysts in the gently falling snow, walking together hand in mittened hand.

.happy winter.
