Bright sunshine and clear blue sky filled the day. I moved the snow on the patio that fell overnight. It was gorgeous -- all sparkly. That happens when temperatures drop a bit. As the temperature rises closer to freezing, the sparkles disappear. I walked to the mailbox and decided that I'd do a walk after lunch. I also moved snow off the car so the sun would melt the ice that came from freezing drizzle. The walk was lovely. Very little wind helped the air feel comfortably cool and not too cold. Inside I got through a few household chores, but paused often to stare at the blue sky. <smile>
Today was what I think of as a perfect winter day. A bit of light snow, little wind, great sunshine and blue sky. When I saw the snow crystals reflecting the sunshine, like millions of tiny jewels, a song came to mind. <smile> The title line described what I saw and the impact of walking through the glitter. I chose an alternate version than I've used in the past. This one has an amazing bass line -- a very lyrical style. Keep safe. Enjoy!
