Week 50 Issue 75
The desk at which I pen the Bayfield Breeze each week faces a wall, this is due in part to limit stimulus and promote
concentration when I need to hunker down and get the news items written. However, today I find myself turning in my chair a
lot to see the view out my window. Every time I look it is different ... the snow squalls which are blanketing the community are
providing endless entertainment. It's like living in a snow globe.
The thought conjures up an old childhood fantasy of mine. My grandmother owned a snow globe that depicted a winter scene
of a mountainside village in a far away land. No matter the season it remained on a window ledge in her kitchen. I would often
climb up on a chair so I could reach it and give it a good shake. I wondered what life was like for the villagers who resided
within as the flakes fell perpetually down.
Several people may want to give me a good shake when I say that I rather enjoy winter and the beauty of a landscape sculpted
Melody Falconer -Pounder
by a fresh snowfall. I don't always enjoy the harsh realities that the white stuff brings like winter driving and endless shoveling
but you can't grow up in this region without at least developing a certain amount of awe and respect for the power of a good old-fashioned snowstorm. -
