I love snow!
Little Miss Fluffy Pants (as I call her) the lil' cat had not seen snow before..She was fascinated but wary. Did a couple of skids as she leaped out from the door...hid under the bench ...then very very slowly walked back to the door... this happened about 5 times..silly kitty
Snow in the Air by Raymond A. Foss
Snow in the air
long before the first flakes
started their long fall from the heavens
snow in the feel, the smell,
the texture of the air
feeling the falling barometer
the shift in the weather
Falling lightly at first, while
I stood at the sink,
mesmerized, watching
their dance downward
Go upstairs, roust the girls,
hear the excitement, the joy
at the first real snowfall
Accumulating white, flake by flake
on the ground, the cars,
still quiet snow, light and airy
a film of white, cell by cell
cleaning the world
in white

still quiet snow, light and airy
a film of white, cell by cell
cleaning the world
in white
have some fun in the snow!
