At ten o clock at night, my boyfriend and I walk on the frozen lake across the street from my house. It is the first snowstorm of winter and snowflakes quickly cover the sturdy ice. No one thought it would snow this winter, but Mother Nature finally came through. Walking side by side, we suddenly stop and take a long look at how beautiful everything is. Large pine trees and scattered houses create a massive black wall surrounding the perfectly white circular basin of the lake.
Snowflakes fall furiously to the ice and get caught in our eye lashes.
It is completely still and quiet. We stand there and just take it all in, enjoying every aspect. This is probably one of the most amazing moments we have shared. The only thing marring the perfect scene is a small blue dot glowing through the window of every home. As the two of us absorb this wonderful snowstorm, an entire neighborhood of lake-side residents watches television.
