the first snow

I don't know why the first snow of the season excites me so much but it does. It's snowing tonight and while they're only predicting an inch of show and I know it will melt away tomorrow, I'm still thrilled to see the first snow.  I'm not a huge fan of winter, although I do have some lovely memories of days off from school and long days spent ice skating.  By the way, those "snow days" were every bit as exciting when I was a teacher as when I was a student.
I think I won't try to analyze my reasons but simply accept the quiet joy of this moment, and in the morning rejoice that my car lives in a garage and I don't need to scrape the windshield.
