 “The First Snowflake” Just a tiny flake of white, floating down from darkened sky… In a swirling, twirling flight, headed for a place to lie… Followed by a million more, covering up the Autumn leaves… And the green of Summer’s floor, will turn white as Nature grieves… Say goodbye to yellow gold, crackling leaves, and Autumn smells… Say hello to Winter’s cold, glistening meadows, frozen dells… Every season has it’s start, Winter starts with just one flake… Earth has flowered, blooms depart, Time to take her Winter’s break… But the flake will bring good cheer, jack-o-lanterns, trick or treat… Then Thanksgiving will be near, harvest treats for all to eat… Flakes at Christmas, such delight, children sledding down the hill… Silver bells and streets of white, thoughts of peace, love, and good will… Flakes bring in a brand new year, not to stop, ‘til April Fools… With the last flake, Spring appears, Winter dies……..by Nature’s rules… Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Yes, Mark.... I'll be happy to go play in the snow for you!! The first one of the year always seems magical...and makes everything look so clean and bright! Winter here is beautiful, and the sun shines brighter because it bounces happily off of the snow!! (That's why I wear shades!!!)  Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |
