On a short trip via the back road to our local Walmart the other day, we passed by this field of cotton, and promptly coined it "Florida Snow". It's no secret around my house that I've been kinda..sorta, a little homesick for not just the fall season..the changing leaves and crisper weather from Indiana..but also a little homesick for some snow! Yes, you heard me right..a Floridian that is homesick for snow. I'm pretty sure all this homesickness is because of the fast upcoming holiday season. You can't go into a store any more these days without seeing all the Christmas decorations displayed and hear the soft and soothing sounds of the Christmas music. I think we say it every year, that the stores put things out earlier and earlier every year. But when it really comes down to it...I think I'm just homesick for the kids and grandkids, all of which still live up north.
I have been teased more times than I can count from the time I was a kid until my adult years for playing my favorite Christmas music in July! haha Perhaps it's the calmness and peace it brings to my heart. I've even changed my myspace layout to falling snow and Christmas music!
So, since this "Florida Snow" is the closest I'll get to snow this year..I thought I'd share it with you.
Those of you in the northern part of the country, already experiencing snow and colder weather..bundle up by the fire..grab a steaming cup of hot chocolate...and enjoy a moment for me!
As the world turns.....
