041: Snow?

I saw snowflakes today! Not a lot, not enough to coat the ground, but snowflakes!

They feathered down out of the sky, floating and drifting on the breeze, dusting the trees here and there with just the tiniest bit of powdered white.

I watched until it was too dark to see anymore, but oh, was it beautiful while it lasted!

I missed the snow? Darn. It doesn't snow in California. Well, at least not in LA. Big Bear is a different story.

Just the tiniest bit, but oh, it was beautiful!

Don't worry. I think you'll see lots more snow.

Then I should go snow boot shopping and get a pair of skis too.

Oooh! Do you think we'll have that much snow? I've only ever seen tiny bits like this before!

[identity profile] tofuinthesky.livejournal.com 2008-11-30 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know. It feels cold enough for it though.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-11-30 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
That would be nice. I'd like to see what it's like when there's a lot of snow!

The place I lived before here? Snowed all the time. I never thought I'd miss it, but I have.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
I've never seen more than a tiny tiny bit of snow that disappeared almost at once. Is it nice?

[identity profile] notapreacher.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
It's like anything else: it's beautiful until there's too much of it. Then it's just commonplace and irrelevant. But if you can forget about how normal it gets, yes, it's still really, really nice. Like a blanket of sparkling white covering everything, especially when it's fresh.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhhh...

That sounds wonderful!

[identity profile] notapreacher.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
You weren't here this summer when it snowed, then?

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
I was here, but... I don't remember it snowing.

How odd.

[identity profile] notapreacher.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
It didn't last very long. Just another City curse. But a friend who used to be here told me it snows plenty in the wintertime, so we're bound to see blankets of snow eventually.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that should be fun! I wonder what it will be like here at my house. The roof is transparent, you know!

[identity profile] notapreacher.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't know. Where do you live? If you don't mind me asking.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
In the woods. My friends helped make a sort of house for me so I'd have some protection from the weather.

I... get scared if I'm inside a real place without enough doors. In case bad people come, you know.

[identity profile] notapreacher.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
I know all about bad people and fear.

In the woods? That's got to be really nice. You're a friend of Abby's, aren't you? Or did I get you confused with someone else?

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, it is. I love it here!

And yes, I am. Abby's a wonderful friend!

[identity profile] notapreacher.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, good. I didn't get it wrong.

She's one of my closest friends here. We haven't met, I don't think. I'm Gren.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Gren! yes, she's talked about you.

Hi. I'm Rain.

[identity profile] notapreacher.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Hi, Rain. It's good to finally meet you - sorry it took so long.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Oh gosh, that's okay. I don't get out much. Pretty much I'm here or at the Library.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! And I love it there.

It's kind of alive, you know? And it likes me. Sometimes if I'm there late by myself? It sings to me. Or whispers stories.

[identity profile] notapreacher.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
That's a pretty beautiful way of describing it. I feel the same way about music. So if you ever stop by Lux on a Saturday, say hello, okay? I'll play a song for you.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Would you really?

Oh, I'd like that!

[identity profile] notapreacher.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
I sure would. The first and last songs of the night are always planned, but everything else is up for grabs.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'd like that very much.

I'll definitely have to go some Saturday nigh!

[identity profile] notapreacher.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
I hope you do. I'll look forward to it.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe Abby will come with me!

[identity profile] notapreacher.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
She's always there on Saturdays. She's even got a regular table there. Right up by the front.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
I'll see if she'll bring me along sometime then!

[identity profile] notapreacher.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a plan! I'll look for the two of you, then, instead of just Abby.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Okay! I can't wait to hear you play!

[identity profile] notapreacher.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure Abby has some of my stuff on her computer if you're that curious. Not that it won't keep until Saturday night.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
We'll see. Sometimes the anticipation is wonderful in itself!

[identity profile] notapreacher.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes it is.

Take care, Rain. I'll see you one of these Saturdays.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
You too, Gren! It is good to have finally met you!

[identity profile] premiumedheart.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
It snowed a little in the city? That's a rather nice thought - it's been getting chilly enough for it to start coming down.

I'm sort of sad I missed it.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it snowed a little in the forest at least.

I really liked it. And I'm sorry you missed it, but I'm sure there will be more!

[identity profile] premiumedheart.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
That must have been some sight, then, to watch it snow there.

It's all right! Like you said, there just might be more and next time I'll be sure not to miss it.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, it was! I curled up on my bed and watched it through the roof. It was amazing!
