Funny Follows Me

What is your favorite type of weather?

My favorite type of weather is snow. Snow slows the world down and silences it, at least until the snow plows come out.

It’s a time to watch TV movies, bake brownies, and revel in the warm hot cocoa; watching the marshmallows slowly bob up and down , until they melt into the warm milk.

Our bodies relax during snow storms and our lists of things to do goes out the door.

We regress back to children and make snowmen or Igloos and despite the bitter cold, we tolerate the cold noses and floppy mittens to slide down a hill for an adrenaline rush, all the way screaming in joy.

Fresh, white snow is reason I perk up in December, as my New York Winter’s start.

I love going to my local park to take the first photos of snow hugging the branches and seeing a blanket of snow make bench marks look cool. Watching Dogs play in fresh snow is always a joy, but kids making snow angels is so pure as the snow. The absence of people is the most beautiful sound in the world, as the snow hits the streets and no sound is present. That is total peace to me. My nirvana.

Snow might be a 4 letter word for some, but despite my joints not loving the snow ❄️ my heart ❤️ will always beat faster in anticipation of the most calming weather.
