Well, we are deep in winter now.  Would be great to have a snow day soon: but one we don’t have to make up.  I do love snow.  I grew up with it.  I remember walking up and down the snow packed streets of Pennsylvania and Ohio.  I was very little.  At that point, it was just Grandpa, Grandma and me. We’d make snowmen and snow angels together.  This was me when I was about two years old.

Now, you have a pic of of me!  🙂

I think I’m drooling a little.  Ha!  Ha!

When I got older, I saw this beautiful ballet called The Nutcracker. In this ballet, there is a song called “Waltz of the Snowflakes.”  At one point, the main characters are making their way to the castle of the Sugar Plum Fairy and they travel through a wintery forest with snowflakes dancing all around them.  This is a short segment of that waltz performed at the famous Opera house in Paris.  I love the gorgeous set in the background and the dancers do a wonderful job of portraying the grace and beauty of snowflakes.  It may not be your “cup of tea,” but give it a chance.  Sit back and watch a lovely snowfall in the forest.  And remember…

Enjoy the blizzard that I’ve sent you!!! Note* the snowflakes falling from the top of the stage during the chorus of “ahhhhhhh.”
