The Magic of My First Snow
Where was i? I was at my sister's home. I had flown across oceans so at that time, I was on vacation in New York. So back then, I was where i am.
When the snow began, she called me to the door. The door was slightly ajar. And there it was. My very first time, my very first snowflakes
For me this was oh so amazing. I stood at the doorway spellbound.

You've heard about the Monday Blues
well this is Monday WRites (musing on the definition here of rite, as any customary observance for eg the rite of afternoon tea).
What a lovely memory, Gillena! Thank you for sharing it! 💙

Gillena, I had been thinking of you when this prompt came. It doesn't snow in Trinadad. You did fine, whether or not you have or had a sister living in New York. I remember my first tornado, watching it from the storm cellar door and picking up hailstones after it passed. One had a part of a clock inside, a small wheel like piece of metal with gear cogs. That was in Eastern Nebraska, in the spring a school. A father warned us and took us all to the cellar, some of us took turns coming to the door to watch.

I have lived most of life in cities that got snow, lots of it. I still get a little thrill each time we get first snow of the season. I enjoyed your telling.
