Snow
Winter time for most people means cold weather, flu season and trying to stay warm. I agree
that winter has more downs than ups but there is one thing that I love about the winter season
and that is snow. Unfortunately here in western kentucky over the past several years we don’t get
the snow that we got when I was growing up. There was a time when school children would be
off from school for over a week because of snow. Now day’s school children are lucky to get
that many snow days off during the whole winter season. Sleigh riding used to be something
children use to do all day long but that’s a thing of the past. I remember when hot chocolate use
to be the beverage of choice and snow suits and snow boots lay beside the back door. Waking
up early in the morning to look out the window to see if any more new snow had come during
the night.
There are a lot of great memories that I have now as an adult of when I was a child playing in
the snow. Every year when winter season approaches these memories comes back and I cannot
help but to daydream about the years past and that wonderful thing called snow. I know that most
won’t agree but hopefully before this season is over we will get a couple of good days of snow
and maybe we all can get out and make ourselves a couple more good memories about that thing
I love called snow.
