Wintry Shower

"It's snowing!" Imagined my surprise at breakfast as I was about to butter my toasties with cream cheese. Alas, the flurries ceased midway through breakfast. A fleeting fancy.
We ventured out into the elements, freezing our bums off, after nature's failed attempt at snowing.
The snow came acalling in the afternoon again. This time, with much intensity and volume. Flakes were thick and rushed down from heaven unabated. It was a breathtaking, tranquil sight to behold!
In an hour's time, the white-powdered shower dissolved from our plain view and left everything pristine white in its wake.
To say the least, we experienced a euphoric high - almost childlike - just by looking at the falling snow, considering our 10-year separation from the tundra-like climate of Illinois and Indiana. (Wow, has it been THAT long ago?)
Slowly does it
