Imagining Snow

I've long given up the dream of having a white Christmas in South Carolina. While it does snow here sometimes during the later winter months, December sees little of the fluffy stuff.

Coming out of Harris Teeter a few evenings ago, as a light rain misted the chilly air, I looked into the glowing lamp posts over the parking lot and imagined that the glinting water falling down was actually snow. The cold rain gave my cheeks a slight sting, and the way the lights reflected made the droplets look like tiny glowing snowflakes.

I felt warmed through, except my chilled nose, of course. Ah, snow for the season, even if only imaginary.

    This makes me sad. Snow is amazing. I'm glad you felt like you had some for a moment. Someone told me it snowed in charlotte. Well, I will pray that you get some snow where you live. :) And merry early Christmas!!!

  3. I'm sorry Cora- I didn't mean for it to be sad - I really don't mind not having snow, though it would be lovely. ;)
