I am looking at

I am looking at snow. Crisp white blanket outside my window. Melted and iced over up and down the driveway. Please let the sun take it away. I dont want to shovel it. The sky is blue and the air looks clean. Finally, we can breath. 

Little birds come to the deck. They peck at frozen seeds that have fallen from our feeder. Lily our prowling little feline begins to pant. She wants outside. More than just wanting to be outside she wants what is outside. Her sleek black coat is nothing more than a shadow to the birds oblivious. She swats the window scaring the tiny brown birds away. Lily looks searching for any bird left to tease. 

I am looking at winter finally settling in. The snow fell late this year.
