Winter Snow Part Two


For two days the snow had fallen, piling up and covering everything.

Two young children waded out into the snow, their heads covered with woolen hats, their faces covered with scarves, bundled in bulky snowsuits with feet cozy in insulated boots, they moved slowly forward.  The taller one went first, pushing into the snow to make a path.  The younger one followed.

They reached their goal and with fierce determination set to digging.  Soon two sleds were uncovered and they shouted with glee. 

Today they would not be contained inside, today would be spent sliding and playing in childish abandon.
