let it snow!

people don't seem to understand how much i love the snow. if i had it my way, it would snow all winter long. snow is just beautiful and happiness for me. i don't like when people go tromping through the few pristine spots outside my window just to be assholes, or the ugly sanded roads, but i can live with it. nor do i like the traffic snarls it causes, but that's not the point. i love watching it fall, the silence of the world and the music of the flakes as they hit the window or whatever is covering my head when outside. i love that strange light that only comes with snow. there's nothing like being out in the middle of a normally busy place and just experiencing that all alone - though i love being out in the middle of nowhere with the snow more.

seattle is experiencing a snowy week this week. there was snow sunday night and monday, then it melted off tuesday before coming back in the wee hours wednesday morning. it's still snowing right now as i write this, though it was icy last night instead of snow. i haven't been out in it all that much, instead i've been inside and watching it while looking for a job (mostly). for some reason this time around i'm content to just stay in. i did go out and take some photos monday and a few quick ones yesterday evening. more so i find that i want to be outside in it back home. i want to be sledding down the hill and making a snowman in the front yard and throwing snowballs for the dogs to chase. maybe it's a touch of nostalgia? maybe the not wanting to go outside is more that i've gone to more of a nocturnal schedule, so am only up for a few hours of daylight? yeah, i'm gonna go with that since i'm usually ready to go out around the time the light starts to falter and go away. plus i don't really want to go out and take photos at night - can't really take doll photos then anyway.

mmm...yeah, time to curl up and watch out my window as the snow falls. <3
