A Snow Day

Oh, the joys of a snow day, or, a snow afternoon, when one receives a few hours off from work. I take advantage of those blissful few hours. I play with the dogs. I strap on the cross country skis, and admire the trackless snow-covered landscape and the silence. I tilt my head skyward and let the snowflakes fall on my tongue. For after those few hours of glee, I must return to the adult world, of work and chores and battling the snow.
