TREASURE OF SNOW ? Depends on Age !
Remember when you were a Kid ?
Everyone had a Sledge ~ NOT
AN IPAD ! Snow was for playing
Snowmen ~ Snowballs ~ Skiing ~ Sledging !
Uncles ~ Aunties ~ even Mum & Dad
Revelled in the fresh Snow ~ UNTIL
EVERYONE was freezing and soaked !
OFF with the wet clothes ~ ON with the
Fresh ones ~ Hot Chocolate & Mulled Wine !
SNOWFLAKES are awesome Hexagonal Gems
No two snowflakes are the same ~ In
ONTARIO and North USA
Winter Snow becomes Spring's Water ~ AMEN
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Winter Hugs ~ BRIAN
The BIBLE asks the question "Have you entered into the
"Treasure of the Snow ?" My answer is always Y E S !
I'm still young enough to enjoy it Sledging on the local
Slopes and Skiing at Avimore (Scotland). In the UK the
Snow has started and we are all "Dreaming of a Bing
Crosby ~ WHITE CHRISTMAS !" Love to ALL ~ BRIAN XOX

A bit of Job 38:22 there Brian! I recall it as we had a film of the same name years ago at church. A fine write.
~THANKS STEVE ~ It was probably a FACT & FAITH FILM from Moody College ~ My parents loved them because they explained natural phenomena ~ like hexagonal snow crystals ~ in both a Spiritual and Understandable way. I have seen City of the Bees & others ! Thanks for you comment ~ JOB is an interesting Book ! BRIAN
Did Job have a dairy long ago?! It used to be our milk-man when Job's had more milk floats in operation. My figurative brain recalled the chapter and verse. It's not like bingo, it's the Holy Spirit guiding me, I believe.
I too am dreaming of a white christmas and pretty sure we'll have one. Great poem! It is true we are kind of in a technical age, ya gotta kick the kids out the door these days. Great job!! Christmas Hugs!--Christina
THANKS CHRIS ~ You & I were TEENAGERS in the last Century (I was 17 in 200) so we were not so hooked to the WEB as today's KIDS are ! We enjoyed lots of fun alfresco and were not afraid of being cold & wet and even dirty ! SNOWFALL & SNOWFUN ~ Memories are made of this. Pleased you enjoyed it HUGS for CHRISTMAS ~ Brian @@@@@@@
A touch of magic in snowfall brings us all to our outdoor boards and clothes - here in the south-west of Cornwall snow is a rare treat but love to remember the Cotswold days when even tall hedgerows were covered in fairyland-gems every year. A lovely acrostic dear Brian and wishing you loads of snowy fun.
Mio Caro Amico BRIAN...
Today...First snowfall!
Beautiful sight. Thank God
I don’t have to shovel it!
As children, we didn’t have
to worry about shoveling as
a job we didn’t want to do!
We did it to have fun!
Regardless, I love the snow...especially at
Christmas time! No more skiing for me...7 pins in my ankle. Great noise makers
at the airport! Lol
Un forte abbraccio e baci...
~Laura~
GRAZIE LAURA ~ Pleased you liked it ! I'm always passionate about the SNOW ~ sorry you can't ski anymore. We have lots of red berries this year which is sign of a HARD WINTER Baci e Abbracci por tu anche ~ BRIAN XOXOX
Snow.....a distant memory!
Thanks for reminding me.
THANKS FRED ~ I love pineapples ~ especially Pina Colladas (in Cuba !) but the English are genetically programmed to be weather conscious ~ We always talk about the Weather and we often get four Seasons in one day ! I spent on CHRISTMAS in Puebla Mexico but it seemed unpatriotic to be sunbathing on the Roof on Christmas Day and getting covered in Ash from POPOCATAPETAL and I know Hawaii has volcanoes as well ! Like the hurricanes in Florida (my friends had to evacuate their house a few months ago) there is always a price to pay in Paradise ~ Your (freezing in Essex !) BRIAN
