December's First Snow

I know it's been a while. We've had a busy Fall

 picking apples,

 developing our musical talents

and hiding in trees.

But the Fall is decidedly over and we are ready for winter. Here is a poem we found and love and would like to share in honor of the new snow we received this morning. Happy Winter everyone.

First Snow

by Marie Louise Allen

Snow makes whiteness where it falls.

The bushes look like popcorn-balls.

And places where I always play,

Look like somewhere else today.
