Snow

I've seen snow in Florida, light flurries framed by street lights in the early morning and at night.

And I've sat in my car with the defroster on high because I didn't own a windshield scraper.

I've seen sprinklers left on overnight during a freeze and a rainbow of ice erupting from the ground in the morning.

It is nothing compared to what I grew up with up north.

But we take what we can get.

Even if they are moments that are short lived.

I heard this bird calling this morning and heard another answering, back and forth.  With feathers like that, he must be young.

With feathers like that, it's like a snowball sprouted wings.

I named him immediately and with a smile.

Snowy.
