While this winter hasn't shown us a lot of snow, there were a few times when a flurry or two graced us, and with our scenic mountain and rice paddy backdrop, we enjoyed the experience. Aria especially.
The first time, it was bright and sunny with extra light snowflakes that were all but gone before they even hit the ground. With the sunlight and the strangely bright surroundings, I couldn't help feeling an extra sense of wonderment. Like we were being sprinkled with powdered sugar. The warm happy feeling of the sunshine-snowfall combo made up for how truly frigid and windy it actually was outside.
But it disappeared even faster than it came, because as the day progressed, the sun bore down and took all the snow away by mid-afternoon. Save for one strange snow pile, about 2 feet in length and 6 inches in width, which stuck around in our side yard for several more days, providing Aria with one special area to stomp with her little rubber boots. :)
