just a memory
sun, clouds and more sun –
fickle mother nature’s moods
change by the minute
just a memory
remains of the last snowfall
spring still far away
and still we’re waiting
another white-washed morning
is not too much to ask
to break up this tedium
in all of our humdrum lives
[2:00 PM]
It’s amazing to realize that it’s winter here and it seems more like March than January.
I wish I could say something was going to happen, but the weather report is still only calling for rain. It’s like last season (or maybe the season before that) when Ayeka and I went skiing to find the slopes melting more than anything else. Each day’s been up in the fifties, which bodes poorly for another showing of the white stuff.
It goes to show – the only snow that I’m going to see, for a while, is in my haigas…
RYN: Thanks for the note. I haven’t put it anywhere he could see it. I don’t have a clue where that would be. I’m hoping he’ll just look over just once, he won’t be able to look away.

RYN: why did he stop?

Yes, I do know what you mean. Would do a lot to be able to look out the window just once and see white on the ground. See it falling, it seems like it’s been a very long time. Just to see those flakes falling, to be able to watch them. Stand out among them as they fall. I love winter, but it’s not much of a winter without the snow.

I’ll pray for snow for you. xx
