The White Coat

It was too warm when we got up this morning.

Is it still January? 

I wondered as time goes as fast as a speeding train these days.

I grabbed my phone but instead of checking the time,

I checked the weather.

It said it was snowing.

Snowing!

I sneaked a peek from behind the curtains,

and out there, all the trees were clothed in a white coat.

How beautiful and still they looked.

Would you believe me if I said they were happy?

But they were happy.

And that’s why I was happy too.

A few hours later,

the sun rose,

and the trees began to warm.

The white coat melted.

They were dripping

pure, cold water, 

and their leaves looked so fresh and green.

“Fun time,” they whispered.

And fun time we began.

A mini snowman was built,

and a snow fight we played.

Another gift from the New Year.

Thank you, January, for the warm white coat.

With warm thoughts,

The First Snow

nhpureandsimple

This was the first greeting on the second of January.

The first snow had landed, safe and sound.

Today painted a wintery image;

with heavy coats, beanies, and gloves;

footprints,

long traffic queues,

and hustle and bustle everywhere.

“It’s snowing!”

I heard everyone scream… figuratively. 

It was fun.

I heard them laughing too. Well … that was actually my daughter and me.

An hour later,

The sun shone on and threw its golden threads across the snow.

The snow glared, and its thin layer began to melt.

Alarmed, the fluffy clouds fled for their lives,

towards a different destination… perhaps yours.

And then… there was no way to make a snowman.

But… maybe January has better surprises than just a snowman.

With snowy thoughts,

Snow in March

nhpureandsimple

Yesterday, it was all white here, white fluffy blanket, thrown from heaven and covered all the country. It was beautiful, I didn’t see snow since we were living in scotland, now in England, it looked like an elegant, priceless type of present wrapping paper, covering the precious spring, announcing that the warm, bright, and colourful days will soon bloom.

It was a wonderful surprise, schools and colleges were closed , so the boys hurried outside with friends, they would never be bothered with storm, snow or freezing air, yes it was fun, but when they told me it was so slippy too, my daughter and I, with baba at work, preferred safety, and snow in the garden was enough.

Wishing you all the best,
