making way

Yesterday

 we found this package

nearly buried in snow...

saw the footpath of the one who

delivered it

and we,

well me,

decided that the walk needed

to be cleared

(not nearly as much fun

as plowing the drive with the quad!)

Loving the changing landscape

at my back door

as I

bundle-up in my lined jeans

snow boots

gloves

and

woolly-acrylic-non-itchy hat

before discovering

the mild temperatures

the morning did 

bring

no wind

really a perfect day to 

work outside

the walkways are shoveled

the boxes and bags

can now find their way

safely to our 

door.

Back inside

with coffee in hand

 weather channel on

hearing

 the sad, sad news

of warmth

and rain

that is heading our way

I become that little girl

wishing for a snow day 

with fingers crossed

and

 a prayer on her lips

that some of the white

will stay

for that 

one special day.

Won't you join me?
