It was magical.
As you all well know, when I sleep, ain’t nothin’ gonna wake me up. I have slept through tornado warnings when we lived next to a siren. After an adolescence of being tortured as a “light sleeper”, I moved into my mid-twenties and became comatose while I slept.
This has its advantages, but it also means the sleet/snow didn’t wake me up the other night as it fell, so I didn’t get to watch the sky turn white. I didn’t care too much until Marydae was showing me her pics of it at rehearsal last night. It was so pretty, and I remember always being so captivated by it.
Mornings without Bryan suck, because I have no one to snuggle with. On the upshot, I can take my time and sleep in if I want to, without worrying that I’m hogging the bathroom. So I got up leisurely around 6:45 and went out to feed the dogs.. where I stood, transfixed.Â
Big ole fat snowflakes fell. EVERYWHERE.Â
I wasn’t silly enough to think that it would stick; I could hear it sloshing around me as the big drops hit the ground. But for just a second or two, I got lost in that fantastic childhood wave of OHMYGOD, IT’S SNOWING.
In the south, we don’t often get magic in frozen form, but when we do, it is all the more special.
I was transfixed, too! It was so mesmerizing that it almost made up for that wimpy gyp of a snowstorm yesterday…ALMOST!
(I’m here on zoot’s recommendation, by the way! Nice to kind of meet you.)
Hey Sarah, I just friended you on facebook and I posted a ton of cool snow pictures there…
Glad you could make it, Michelle! Zoot is truly an inspiration.. she talks about donuts and poop as much as I do.
Sarah, your pics were simply gorgeous. You’ve always had a great eye for shots.
Today the HIGH temp will be minus 10 degrees… YOU CAN HAVE THE SNOW!
