Twenty three years ago...
The day started out with a sky
blue and clear.
The grass was green...
the birds were busy eating seeds and berries.
Squirrels were scurrying about
checking out their winter stash of acorns
and walnuts.
As late afternoon approached
and
clouds appeared...
the season's first
snow flurries
tumbled out of the sky.
Falling gently at first...
dancing about ....
playfully...
joyfully...
in anticipation...
......of the arrival......
By evening the sky was a blur of
swirling snowflakes....
falling harder and faster...
...with a sense of urgency.
After all...
There was a job to do.
Everything needed to be clothed in
winter's finest ware....
the winter child would soon be here.
The midnight hour ...
Snow hung on every twig and branch...
it lay like pillows
on the boughs of the
evergreen trees.
The ground was covered in
an icy blue blanket of
sparkling snow.
Everything was just right...
just in time...
for our first baby's arrival.
for our first baby's arrival.
Now,
Twenty three years later....
the sky is once again
alive with the
season's
first snow!
The trees are covered...
the earth is covered...
in anticipation
......of......
a birthday...
Happy Birthday, Ted!
