I laid down the picnic blanket, but I could not convince Chloe or Jeff to join me. Eti was my accomplice and he said "Let's lay long enough so that we are completely covered in snow!"  And so we did.

We each had an earbud.

The song I chose is here

It was perfect...perfect.

The air was cold enough for it to be snowing but warm enough to be enjoyable.

When you lay on your back all you can see is sky and  tree branches.  I was thinking that the experience would be the same if you lived in the projects or in a mansion.  All that is needed are some really great songs that you love and to lay down to watch the snow fall until you are covered in snow.

The flakes fell like poetry through the air and then melted on our fingers, our cheeks, our foreheads, our eyelids.

It was like all of nature could hear my music.

A hawk flew over the tree tops.

Eti ran off after the first song to build an igloo but I stayed to hear this song three times and then U2's "Beautiful Day" and Kutless' "Redeemer".

I smiled thinking about my adventure the rest of the day.
