The snow has finally heard my call and has arrived,
so pretty and dignified and white
Please, please let it settle—I plead to the powers that be—eyes full of wonder worthy of a child
The snow mantles the usually Spartan slopes,
the landscape has been transformed and made bold and beautiful
this heavenly blanket has softened all of the sharp angles
My long-awaited snow! I want to roll in it, let it freeze my extremities
feel the icy flakes melt slowly against my cheek
like the sweetest butterfly kiss
in history
*I can’t even begin to tell you how ecstatic I am that the snow has finally found its way to me. I can’t remember how long it’s been since I last saw it in this country — too damn long*

The extremities that can benefit from sudden changes in temperature 😋
Yeah, I can understand that. I never see it though over here

It’s possible that I’m too tired but I don’t understand what you’re talking about, lol. Can the penis benefit from sudden changes in temperature? 😛 I have another friend over there who loves snow too- Richard Ankers- you might follow him. I’ll be really happy for him if he gets snow.

Lol never mind, I was thinking of a woman’s extremities actually. Yes, I follow Richard and I know he was hoping for snow for Christmas, like me, but we both got disappointed

See, now that’s not right. What a tease! I hope it means it will snow harder next time and for longer. I just love the snow. It is like it whitewashes and cleans the world. I feel free in snow. When I lived in Canada unsurprisingly it snowed a lot and I would walk through it, the only times I ever felt the world was absolutely definitely magical.

It’s totally okay if you don’t get into it or like it, I only watched it because Gillian Anderson was in it, but I actually ended up liking the role of Hannibal the best, he’s totally incredible but it’s not everyone’s cuppa, so either way, good that you try it on for size, but okay if it doesn’t fit xo

Such a beautiful ode. The last time it snowed in Buenos Aires was almost ten years ago… and it was something “extraordinary” given the mild weather in this part of the country! There is something trascendent when it comes to snow, don´t you think?… as if somehow the universe and all its unknown possibilities were falling down on earth expressed in those snowflakes, inhabited by infinite fractals! 😀
Sending much love dear Natalie… happy week ahead! 😉
