first draft
It was so nice the other day to stumble about in the snow. The brief sunshine lit up my insides and did its work. Jolly drunk was I, pitching about, surprised by how deep it all was. The rock buried beneath was slippery and the wrong step produced happy havoc and snow up to my kneecaps. It wasn't very cold so I hadn't dressed for it. Just sneakers and cotton pants soaked through.
The snow here is sneaky. It falls as a fine powder - very light, very dry - for several days. As cars and humans pack and flatten it one is led to believe there is very little snow. You would be in error. I mean I was. I went behind our house to explore and was shocked to discover my very own limbs plunged up to the patellas in the stuff.

I hate to see snow disturbed by footprints. But once it HAS been disturbed (by someone else), the crazy child inside me takes over and simply must run wild, doing as much damage as possible.
When it's falling and when it's deep, I love to fall backwards into it without reserve or hesitation...and then just lay there as still and as quiet as possible and listen for as long as I can stand it...especially at night when the stars are out.
Love your pictues, your view of life :)
I love these photos. It is so true and so amazing for being up here.
You're right, I am not sure how long you can go with the snow theme. I'm totally kidding, it's gorgeous and wonderful to see it. I think your post titles are appropriately named too. Like the other day: "snow" was a good post title. I would love to see some pics of you too, rosy cheeked and healthy out there in the cold air. Can I commission a snowman? Except could you make a snowcat?
I loved Sonya's comment about the child in her having to destroy everything, I feel that way too.

...and again, and again, and again...
I would have the same dilemma, whether to keep it neat or to mess it up but when you do mess with it, at least you don't have tidy it.
so wonderful...i want to give you a very heartfelt thank you for sharing the snow with us! i love seeing it so much!...you are too sweet:)
