Snow thoughts

What season is it anyway?

Yesterday was autumn - sunny and about 65°F. Today has become winter. This morning was dark, cold, and rainy. Now it's almost 9pm and snow is falling. It is wet and melt-y, but snow none-the-less.

I am always filled with awe while watching snow fall. It is a simple thing, yet somehow deeper than words can easily express; arousing peaceful feelings and a sense of tranquility. A peaceful moment in a busy life.

For me, watching the snow fall brings back memories of the snow covered landscapes of my childhood.
