White winter began

The water boiled and the shook itself free from the bonds of it's brothers, rising into the air and floating high, reaching for the fiery ball in the sky. It floats inland and cool air from the mountains cause it to seek the refuge of company. The weight of it's siblings pull it back to earth. It falls. Plummets to the ground picking up speed and the shift of coldness causes it to freeze. Air picks up the flake and slows it's momentum. It now slowly floats. Pushed sideways by gushes of wind. It spins and dances in the air, falling then lifting as the air pushes it back up. Soon it touches the warm ground. Sacrificing it's body to cool the earth and allow it's brothers to soon blanket the ground.

Snow poured for the first time of the winter season today. It's definitely something we don't see enough of at home. I spent an hour staring at the winds twisting and turning the ice in the air before it would dissolve onto the wet ground. Tonight the water that sits in the gutters will freeze and go slick. Hopefully the snow will continue to fall and twist in the wind.

Soon she comes. Not long now I tell myself. My mind races with thoughts of her soft features and warm body. Soon she will take the cold from me and I can be content. I watch the clock and wait. I'm excited and terrorfied at the same time. 26 hours and counting.
