Still Loving it!

I was sitting at my desk looking out the window and thinking about my blog.  What should I write about this fine day?  I allowed my mind to wander as I gazed at Thunder Mountain.  I love living in Northern Arizona, at 4500 feet above sea level we get all four seasons, yet none are too extreme.  My Hunny says, “Sedona is kind of like Goldilocks, Phoenix is way too hot, Flagstaff is way too cold, and Sedona is just right.”  I gaze out the window again, big flakes of snow floating to the ground.  Deep breath, I can’t help it my heart is full, the snow just seems magical to me.   In case you do not know, I grew up in Northern, Minnesota and I liked the crispness of the snow and how it sparkled in the sun, it was different then the snow here, colder and dryer.  I thought I would share a poem I wrote, in 2001, my first year in Sedona Arizona.

Desert Snow

I LAUGH at the snow

As it lands on my face

Falling, dancing, hitting the ground

I LAUGH at the snow

As the moon cheers it on

Falling, dancing, hitting the ground

I LAUGH at the snow!

For tomorrow

It will be gone.

Remember the snow from this afternoon.  It’s gone now.  No shoveling, it just melts.  I do love the high desert in Arizona.
