Fall Snow

So indulgent, those first few hours as the new snow lays upon the branches and coats a world white.

I had a friend whose mother would make special ‘snow flake’ cookies on the day of the first snow.

We waited with baited breath for leaden skies to give forth their offerings.

Finally, so innocently joyous as our lips dusted with powdered sugar tasted newly made winter.

Morning

The storm system that hit Oklahoma edges closer to us with less severity. Still the meteorologists are antsy. Warning of harsh storm possibilities if the sun were to warm the air, all were wishing for a cloudy morning. Instead I awoke to an azure sky. We shall see what this afternoon brings, if anything.
