On may way from my car to the office yesterday morning, I saw frost on the grass. And I couldn't believe what I was seeing. So I stepped on the grass. It crunched under my feet.
I almost cried.
It turns out for a (it's-not-my-home-anymore-but-I'm-still) homesick NJ transplant, frost can be every bit as wonderful as snow. It brought back a flood of memories I wasn't expecting. While snow reminds me of sledding and snowball fights and other fun things, frost brought me back to waiting for the school bus and other normal every day activities.
And now that I've seen the frost again (they say there might be some tomorrow morning because there's not going to be wind tonight), I'm ready for some nice moderate 60-degree weather.
We had sleet! I had never seen sleet before so it was pretty exciting. Also, I was fascinated that it's just tiny hail. I sort of even wish it had snowed.
ReplyDeleteI'm so grateful for a chance to drink hot tea, and make soup, and all those "winter only" activities ... but I'm even more grateful that I live in sunny Florida!
