snow

the first of the season....
as soon as the first flake drifted to the ground
the chorus of "can we go outside? can we?" started
soon that is where you could find them...
outside, with happy shouts and giggles and endless laughter
they ran and slipped, and piled snow
in a way that only a child can welcome the first snowfall.
reyna joined them briefly
and by brief I mean minutes...
it took 20 minutes to dress her
she walked outside, looked around and came right back in
undressing took less than 5 minutes
a half hour spent preparing more than enjoying...
this time...
and with that I guess we say "hello winter"
