It is a quiet peaceful Monday morning here in Virginia.  January 30th ~ it is more like a cool spring morning than the middle of winter.  The only snow I've seen this year has been on the news.  I miss the snow.  I'm a snow lover, used to the heavy snow days back when I lived in Ohio.  I grew up in the snow ~ never minded driving in it, never minded shoveling it.  I especially miss those nights when the snow was falling.  I would go outside to the calm serene sight and feel of it ~ everything clean and white under the star filled sky ~ snowflakes melting on my cheeks ~ breathing the cool crisp air ~ watching the snow on the ground twinkle from the light of the moon ~ nothing like it.  Well, a girl can dream... and I'll always have those memories.  Although, I'm almost certain it will snow again here in Virginia someday, some year.
