As an island girl, Desiree has been most curious about snow. Following her arrival here in May, I drove her up to the top of MacDonald pass so she could stand in a sundrenched snowbank.
Yesterday,
she finally experienced her first snowstorm.
As
soon as I noticed the falling snow, I dragged Desiree to a window so she could
see it. She squeaked at me, more or
less, and then trotted from window to window peering out. After a minute or so of that, she wriggled into
the heavy winter jacket we recently purchased for her and she scampered out
onto the deck to catch some snowflakes.
She examined her prints in the fresh snow. She made a snowball. She scratched a message in the snow collected
on the hot tub cover. And then she video
chatted with her daughter in Manila to show her the snow.
I
think we can justly say the snow thrilled her.
Watching
Desiree playing around in the snow was also immensely satisfying for me. We ‘shared a moment’ as the cliché goes.
I
have posted three images of Desiree I captured as I watched her.
