Almost Friday, and the sun is out
We are supposed to have a cloudy, gloomy day here, but I haven't seen any sign of it so far...the sun is shining outside and the temperature is mild. I feel badly for the people in Western NC, Eastern Tennessee (Denise, you okay?) and parts of extreme western South Carolina where they are supposedly suffering from an ice storm. I don't miss the ice from the two years I lived in North Carolina, but I do miss the beauty and tranquility of watching snow falling at night with only the porch light lit. I can remember vividly seeing little spits of snow jerkily falling down, rather like the hesitant first steps of a baby; I also remember when snow would fall in a steady stream, watching it from the window with only the porch light on, and the incredible silence. It was beautiful and I never tired of watching through the window at the falling snow; same mesmerizing feeling I get watching the flames in the fireplace. Wonder why such sights sooth? Is it a primal thing, I wonder? I'd like to take a brief vacation somewhere where it's snowing, just to recapture the beauty of the scenery. Wouldn't mind having an old-fashioned snowball fight, either.
