SNOW

My trusted Mr. Webster's online dictionary's definition of snow was not as glamorous as the American Heritage Dictionary's definition.  So, wanting snow to be exciting and glamorous, I chose the American Heritage definition which says:

Snow -- Frozen precipitation in the form of white or translucent hexagonal ice crystals that fall in soft, white flakes.

Sounds pretty, doesn't it?  What is it about snow that brings out the childhood wonder in most of us--even as we age?  I think it's the whiteness of it all.  Purity.  Beauty.  A good reason to stay home.

With our hopes built for a nice snow today, even while our realism knows it will probably be just a sprinkling if any, I decided you blog readers might enjoy some picture reminders of recent years of beautiful whiteness.

In the summer, a crop of blueberries will grow here.

Blue sky and white trees...what a combination of "colors"!

The Girl's childhood sled....a classic.

See, it still runs nicely.

An Auburn University snowman....War Eagle!  (I learned this unfamiliar way of speaking from the Son-In-Law.)

This is sparkly bling snow....

A snow angel......

So we'll see what the day holds.  Maybe we should all do as us Southerners do at the "threat" of snow....hit the grocery stores for that gallon of milk and loaf of bread...just in case.  We can hope, can't we?

Happy Snow Day....maybe!
