Making It Up As I Go Along #439

The First Snowfall
Drifting into the night
Shaved slivers of ice
So thin they flutter on the breeze
Melting instantly once touched by anything more than air.

The coming of winter
Unseen from inside
Only spotted around lights
As moths to the flame, each flake seen for a moment and then becomes a puddle

A night of culture
The family out for an event
Leaving with dance and song buzzing the mind
And walking out into the night, faces kissed with sloppy flakes of snow.

Walking through the park
A lit up castle in the background
As the softness of snow
quiets the city as father, mother, and son share the show’s memories.

Each year brings a first snowfall.
Most with grumbles
Many screeching cars into each other
Coldly slapping faces on gales.

This one is different.
Gently shared one still evening
As a family makes it’s way home



TUESDAY...
— Work. Day shift goes alright. Fairly busy but alright. Left over ham for lunch... thank’s to mom’s cooking... and chili for supper... again mom... brings goodness to the day.

WEDNESDAY...
— Alone in CPSIC for much of the day (10 to 6). A busy day working the rust off.

THURSDAY/FRIDAY...
— Work the night shift Thursday and sleep much of the time I’m not working... with a little TV in there too. Work is fine on the first night. Not too tired.
— And Friday goes pretty well. Fairly quiet night followed by a few quick groceries before Saturday morning bed.

SATURDAY...
— Up before noon. Some catching up on the TV shows on the PVR.
— Sarah over for movies in the evening. 4th Kind is kind of interesting. Where the Wild Things Are is cool.

SUNDAY...
— Low key around the house until ball. I don’t play very well but the team wins again. Home for Sunday night TV. Only two or three rings of my bell by trick or treaters tonight. Ignored.

MONDAY...
— Quiet day with some TV and time dealing with my hockey pool.
