Longing for a Winter Wonderland

I long for a Winter Wonderland.

We may get snow every 3 or 4 years
and barely enough to cover the ground.
Can't say how long it's been since
we've built a snowman.

A few flakes falling,
 and the grocery stores
are filled to overflowing.

You see in GA, 

when it snows
everything shuts down.

In 1972,
we had a miracle.

A few flakes of snow,
and we were sent home from school.

I was too excited to sleep.
This 12 year old girl was more than excited!

I awoke to a foot of snow
and it was still falling.
By mid-day it was to my knees.
I prayed the sun would not come out.
I wanted SNOW!
Never have I seen anything as bright.

We never got snow like that again.

The photo below was taken at the homeplace
the winter before my parent's died.
I sure hope there's snow in heaven.
Mama was a kid at heart,
and she loved to play!

I get a taste of snow 

when I visit my children in Nashville.

This was what it looked like from Chattanooga to Atlanta

two years ago.

I may just head for Tennessee 

when there's the first hint of snow!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow,

Bonnie:)
