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,
Nahla
