Snow Folks

The snow sifted down all day yesterday and into the evening , leaving everything liberally covered with frosting ! Each tree limb is outlined with white...all is achingly beautiful !
I remember when the children were little , we'd bundle up and go outside to make snow angels and snow people . They were adament to make the girls , too ! We each had a frosty duplicate of self...altered to fit our whimsey and dressed with wild abandon ! The mood was joyful and the cheeks - rosy ! We had such fun ! There was always cocoa and cookies to come in to and a woodfire to warm us up ! Remember the smell of wet woolen mittens ?...and that stray bit of snow that always seemed to slide down the back of your neck ? Good memories !
The restraints of caregiving may not allow for such giddy pursuits...but you never know what can happen when my charge is napping ! !
