A few snowflakes danced in the air on the walk into the office today. By early afternoon, the snow fell in earnest complete with a bit of a breeze. By supper time it had all quit, though it remained overcast. Walking out to supper with friends was pleasant and gave us time to look at the store windows. Some have been quite creative. On is a complete red and white theme with decorations and gift items only in those colours. It sparkles and the tree in the centre is breathtaking. Another window for a dept and women's clothing store had a fantasy theme. The mannequins were dressed in skirts made from evergreen boughs, greenery with red berries, and a lovely silvery chiffon with a star motif. Definitely creativity rules for these two larger stores. Other had fun themes with teddy bears and various decorated trees. It was a fun walk to just relax and gaze at the work of others.
By the time we left the restaurant, it began to snow again. I walked the few blocks home and my black coat was covered in tiny white flakes. The wind has gotten stronger as the evening progressed. I'm not sure how much will really fall, but forecasts stated that it wouldn't be much. the next two days are to be cloud and sun with no precipitation and then it is to rise above freezing an rain for a day. Confused weather again. Yet, expectations may change as those days get closer. In the meantime, I hope not to shovel oodles of snow, but just push 2-3 cm. <smile>
The song today is one holds a sentiment that I've never felt the need to say. <smile> The singer was born 103 years ago. His voice is recognizable and his recordings were many from the big band era into the later decades of the 20th century. Enjoy!
Let it Snow! -- Frank Sinatra
