So, it's been a while since I have been on here and it is now March!!! We had snow again last night and again today!!! I hear so many people acting like it is spring..... it IS still winter!!!! I love the snow and seems I just don't get tired of it! It is getting harder to have snow supporters as most of my snow loving people are now wanting to move on to spring. I will admit when I think about camping season coming then I am ready to move on too. I just never get tired of seeing the beauty of snow. It is so pure and makes everything look so fresh and bright. It's so beautiful on the trees of Washington and doesn't stay around very long so I am ok with that.
It takes me back to my childhood when the snow would fall and we would take off for the hills to sled, sometimes all night. It was good times. We lived on 10 acres and I loved to walk in the back fields where the snow was untouched. I would be in awe of the beauty and would make snow angles and lay there watching the snow fall. We loved to gather the "clean" untouched snow and bring a big bowl of it in the house and we would add cream, vanilla and sugar and have wonderful snow ice cream.
When there was a lot of snow, we would make forts and have neighborhood snowball fights. One year we made the coolest igloo!
So, as winter slips away I will move on and snow will again become a memory. Spring will bring all the beauty back to the landscape of this beautiful area and I will be delighted with all the new life and will then be ready to move on to summer and camping. For tonight though I will think about snow ice cream and snow angels and thoughts of sledding down slopes of snow in my dreams.
