Watching the TV news about the terrible snows in the eastern states gives me a feeling of great anxiety! I have never been fond of snow, which is one reason I live in SCalifornia, and I do remember some snowy winters near Portland, OR. when I was a child. My best snow memory was the year my husband and I spent Christmas at the Ahwahnee Lodge in Yosemite Valley. It snowed a few inches Christmas Eve day and a few more during the night. It was an awesome sight to look out at the snow covered valley floor just after dawn - there were only deer tracks and crow tracks. We did go out walking, but not far because we couldn't bear to put footprints in that pure white snow. I think I will let that be my lifelong memory of new fallen snow.
There's a lopt to be said for the beauty of snow but I'll get back to you in a few months about that...
ReplyDeleteThis is the time when I completely understand people becomming snowbirds. I'm snowed in under 2 feet but I have lots to do and a big pot of soup on the stove. Making the best of it..grrrr
I have always wanted to spend a snowy Christmas the the Ahwanee - that must be a lovely memory
ReplyDeleteI Love your memory!
ReplyDeleteSnow is beautiful if you never have to leave the house. But that's when it first falls. Then it gets gray and gritty and butt-ugly. So yes, keep your memory.
