Living in Indiana means that snow is a part of life. We have blowing snows. We have light snows. Sometimes we get April snow. We have heavy snows. We get a lot of different kinds of snow here. I am grateful that now and then we get sticky snow!
Sticky snow is the kind of snow that just sticks to trees, buildings, and anything else. The cool thing is it makes everything look really pretty outside. Everything is dusted with a heavy layer of snow when it snows like that. Nothing else quite looks like it. It only lasts a little while, but its gorgeous while it stays on the trees. This is just one of those short lasting things in nature that we get to enjoy.
The snow on all these trees is just a little dose of spontaneous beauty to appreciate. There is nothing anyone can do to plan for this kind of beauty. We only get to enjoy it now and then. I try and enjoy these kind of views when they show up because it could be a long time, even years before we get another view like it.
The beauty of this snow is all about the moment. We can enjoy the beauty of this moment, or we can lose it. We are unable to manufacture this kind of moment again too. This is true with many things in life, I think we are wise to recognize that. Some moments are gifts, and we can’t get more of them even if we tried. All we can do is enjoy them when they happen. Therefor I will go for a walk in the snow today and enjoy the scenery.
