There is something peaceful about snow. I think it is
the tranquility, the serenity of snow that initiates contemplation. I found
myself reflecting on past snowy days, the fun, frolic, and yes, frustration
that comes with snow. And then suddenly, I had an inspiration . . . I think I
will blog about snow. So I had my husband take these pictures from our kitchen
window.
It’s hard to see the small delicate snowflakes
falling, but as they did in mass, its white veil blanketed the ground and clung
to the leaves and branches of the trees. The accumulation is slow and sure and
at some point after the snow stops, there will be a few inches to shovel.
And when looking out of our veranda door, the floor is
covered in white and the rocking chair will have to wait a while before it
rocks again. But again, that’s ok. Meanwhile, let it snow. Tomorrow the sun will
come out and start melting those fragile snowflakes. But this is only January
and one can be sure there will be more snow to come.
Another thing about snow, it sometimes makes you stay
inside, giving you the time to keep up with chores and other projects, like
starting your Family Museum. This is
a good time as ever to go through those boxes, organize your family treasures
and create a place for them that will show them off and protect them for
generations to come. So get started before the snow stops and makes you pick up
where you left off, taking your time away from your Family Museum. And don't forget to get the whole family involved, because, it is their history, and they need to save it.
