Almost Like Home

December 22nd, 2009 by

The past weekend was an adventure for anyone living in the capital city, thanks to the first blizzard of the season. It reminds me of when I was a kid. Gradually, snow storms would start further and further into winter, making everyone ask “Will we have a white Christmas?” And sure enough, a blizzard would come just before the holiday and cover everything with it’s beautiful, yet bitter cold ornament. I had forgotten about those winters, when snow angels line the streets, grocery stores close early, and adults get snow days too.
