The Silence of Snow

One of my favorite things about winter is the sound of "snowing." I love to go outside while it's snowing and listen to the silence and peacefulness that comes with it. I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but when it snows it's like there's a muted bliss over the world.

Today I've been sitting in the Crossroads section of the MC by one of their huge windows writing a paper. Half of my time has been spent listening to my instrumental playlist and looking out the window admiring the snow because its been snowing all day. That's another one of my favorite winter past times. I love to sit by a window with hot chocolate (Stephen's Mint Truffle, preferably) and watch it snow while listening to music. It's wonderful. You should try it. ;)

All the world's a wintry night.
All the world's a peaceful sight.

(Not bad for on the spot spontaneity!)

All the world's a wintry night,
All the world's a peaceful sight.
Flurries - Flitting, fluttering - aflight
While I sit warm by firelight

How I love it when it snows
and nature settles in her repose,
Her quiet stillness, a blanket, grows
and evergreens don new white clothes.

your couplet was instant inspiration. enjoy.

Snow is one of my very favorite things about winter. I always say that if it's going to be cold, it could as least snow. Snow, I like. Cold, I do not. If it snows, I can at least deal with the cold. It's a nice tradeoff. Cold with no snow is just not fun.

I loved your couplet. Not bad? I call it brilliant:)

Wonderful married shenanigans and adventures. :)
