I love the winter diamonds

I love winter.
I love the nippy wind.
I love the lazy snowflakes.
I love when they come fast and furious.
I love midnight strolls among the diamonds.
I love the crunch when I'm walking somewhere... anywhere.
I love the icicles on buildings and fences and anywhere else they can grip.
I love the s of cold wetness on my face when I look straight up at the white coming down.
I love the intricacies I see in what God created when a snowflake lands on my sleeve.
I love wearing scarfs, and fuzzy socks, and cozy sweaters.
I love the laughter from snow forts, the hollers when snowballs meet their targets.
I love the giddy delight of children on sleds.
I love the smiley snowmen.
I love snuggling by a fire.
I love the hush during a snowfall, as if God was sending a more tangible reminder of His peace and serenity.
I love the swirling patterns in the streets.
I love the boot prints on the sidewalks.
I love the drifts in between buildings.
I love seeing rosy cheeks, and smiles.
I love seeing the sparkle of the snow reflected in eyes above it.
