Did you miss the snow this year???
I missed the cold & dark winter nights when you sat in and watched movies for hours on end…
I missed hearing the sounds of shovels and snow blowers at 6:00am and warmth that it brings when sitting upon your roof…
I missed watching the icicle’s melt on a crystal day that followed & the silent stillness of the night before…
I missed the snow that sits upon the ground to light up the night sky…
Did you miss the snow this year…
