Snow


Memories from 73+ years ago:
Snow was edible
Fills up inside boots
Freezes to mittens
Falls off trees
Has pretty frost shapes

2023:
Snow is not edible
Pull pant hems over boots
Freezes to gloves
Fills unzipped purse
Has pretty designs
❄️


Walking outdoors that day
was a nah. Snow is
intimdating to drive through,
no matter how deep.

  5. When I was a kid, my grandma would make snow ice cream. I don't think it's safe to do that now-probably wasn't safe then either!

  6. Your blog is a Winter Wonderland today. I LOVE IT! Yes, it can be scary to drive in, but it sure is pretty. Enjoy your snow day! Your blog design made my heart sing. : )

  7. Same here with a couple of heavy wet snowfalls in recent days where the trees were magical looking for quite awhile. Interesting to read the comparisons on how thoughts of snowfalls change with years gone by.

  9. William,
    Weather you can have. lol

    Lorrie,
    Pulling pant legs ove boot tops is a skill as a kid, I didn't master. It is no wonder to me I had a purse full of snow after cleaning off my vehicle.

  10. Beatrice,
    Your blog snow pictures are lovely! The scenery there is brautiful.

    Sheri,
    The terrain there can be difficult with small ditches ready to catch a tire. The bank of plowed snow at the exits is scary.
    More snow is in the forecast. :)

  11. Debra,
    Flavored snow as a kid was a treat. I remember just chomping away on plain snow. We lived in the countryside/clean snow in those days.

  12. I know what you mean about perception of snow changing. I used to love it when it got all icy, you could slide along the pavements. I used to wonder why the adults weren't as keen as I was!!!

  13. Jenny,
    That's funny. lol
    For me it was wondering why the snow isn't as deep as when I was a kid.
