It is the 2nd day of the winter storm in Northern Virginia. Under the blankets of snow there is ice. We all hear the announcements to be careful. I switch my attention to the beauty of a snowy landscape and send my wishes and blog post to Two Writing Teachers, a place for reflective educators and writers around the globe.

Enjoy those very well deserved snow days as ice is a REAL issue for people as well as vehicles!
ReplyDeleteCarol, there is beauty in a snowfall and you have captured that beauty with your poems. There is a special peace and quiet that covers the earth when snow falls. Snow, falling quietly, evokes peace. Bob
ReplyDeleteBob, I agree with you that this snowfall offered peace and quiet. Its cold outside and everyone is trying to find something to do. I am swamped with decorations that need to be boxed and put away.
DeleteThere is something so incredibly peaceful about the snow. I love the hygge feelings of warmth inside and cold outside and of safety from the storm.
ReplyDeleteKim, now if I could carefully place all the Christmas decorations throughout the house in my garage's designated space I would feel more of the hygee comfort. I do love that word you used.
DeleteCarol, in my neck of the woods (central NC) we've gone over a thousand days without measurable snow. Some is due this weekend. It will be the first snow accumulation our little Micah will have seen. I know many folks don't like snow and I am sure I wouldn't be a fan of deep drifts for weeks on end... but...I find snowfall magical and peaceful. I love the holy hush it brings. What I appreciate most in your poems is the lens filtering the "beautiful." The winter storm brings danger - yet, it is wondrous. our words impart this. Thank you for always adding light and awe to our days!
