Childhood Snow

Mittens crunchy with snow, scarves dripping dry in front of the fire

The smell of woodsmoke and scraping sound of an approaching snow plow

Cold nose, numb fingertips, sluggish toes

The howling wind of a blizzard in contrast to clear, still, starry nights

Snow men, snow angels

The shoveling of snow and daily carting of wood

The complete and soft silence of a deep woods, snowy landscape

-- childhood memories of winter in upstate New York --
