Pure Magic!

They say it’s going to snow here tonight! I’m really looking forward to it, I know you probably think I’m crazy because I love the snow so much. I do appreciate the problems and agro it causes, but there is nothing we can do about it, it’s a natural occurrence we have to live with. It will mean I’ll have extra things to do, pipes will be frozen, horses will be cold and hungry and my friends won’t be able to get here so I’ll have to do their horses too. But I don’t mind, it’s worth it to breathe in the crisp frozen air and see the world all glistening white.

There’s just something so magical about watching those pretty little flakes floating down. The world goes kind of quiet, as if the white fluffy stuff blankets all the sound. It’s almost like time is standing still.

Afterwards, once it’s stopped snowing and the sun comes out, shining on the fresh covering, everything sparkles so brightly you need sunglasses to look at it. The world for a short while is pure and clean.

I believe there is magic all around us, we only need to open our eyes and look to find it. Snow, for me, is just one example of pure magic here in our world.
