The Magic of Snow

21/12/2011

 
_I grew up in Texas where the only seasons are Summer and not Summer.
When I was a kid watching the weather forecast on the news
and they'd talk about the remote possibility of snow, I got excited.
Kids always find the magic of snow.

It rarely happened but when it did snow, the whole town would
practically shut down. But it never stayed around longer than a
day or two tops.

Even now, every time I see snow, it's a magical experience.

My first honest to goodness 'White Christmas' happened when
I was living in Germany.  Woefully ill prepared, I layered my
daughter and myself with all the clothes I could find
and made our way to the wooded park area behind the military housing.
Picture
_I'll never forget the way the snow delicately balanced on the
naked tree branches, the icicles sparkle as the sun caught their gaze,
or the deer as surprised to see us as we were to
see him who stood and watched us looking at the snow.

No where else have a found the depth of silence the snow covered ground offered
Truly the only sound we heard was the crunch of our feet in the snow.

We returned to our home, welcoming the warmth and maintaining the comfortable
blanket of silence the Christmas snow had wrapped around all of us.
We made hot cocoa and snuggled together on the couch to look at our
Christmas tree lights drifting off to sleep.

Now we come to the Wishcasting before Christmas
where Jamie asks

What is your winter wish?

My winter wish is to find the comfortable silence once again
in the magical snow.

What a wonderful memory! I loved childhood years spent in Germany, and the silence of the snow. Now in Texas, I long to be elsewhere. As you wish for yourself, so I also wish for you.

I grew up in Miami, where the coldest it got was about 45, and I've only experienced snow a handful of times, so I can relate. ☺
As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you as well.

I live in Colorado, where we get lots of snow, and the quiet is one of my favorite things about it. So peaceful. As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you also.

I grew up in 'Central Oregon' (east of the Cascade Mt range) where most of our precipitation came in the form of Snow, & waited for the bus (all 12 years) on our country road, looking across fields at Snow Covered Mt Jefferson & perhaps Mt Hood ....
So when I went to college in the VALLEY, & was told that snow was rare, didn't think there would be any till I got home for Christmas .... but we happened to have a couple of inches (much rarer on this side of the Mtns) that first year! Snow ball fights, throwing one from my dorm window (a big no-no) onto some boys below - their aim was a lot better than mine ...
A few years ago, we had a winter with a lot of snow around Christmas day, & were hard pressed to drive across town for brunch at my daughter's in-laws - no snow plows in the city (we thought the garbage company should get some that attach to the fronts of their trucks) so creeping through the rutted streets in a small car ... we made it there & back again .... I work 13 blocks from home, so put on hefty boots & walked to work a couple of days, then we just shut the office down :)

As Dionne wishes for herself, so I also wish for her!!

Blessings & happy holidays!

May you find the silence you seek, as it seeks you in return. As you wish for yourself, I wish for you also.

As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you also.
