Outside the Window: What’s the weather outside your window doing right now? If that’s not inspiring, what’s the weather like somewhere you wish you could be?
Mainly because I need to write. Whether it’s nonsensical words strung together or just putting my thoughts into words, I need to put out some of the things in my head. Prompts will be taken from here.
The weather outside is pitch black. Alexa says the temperature is 33 degrees Farenheit and we can expect more of the same throughout the night. It’s cold. The ground is damp from the snow earlier this week. There are still some stray patches of snow that have clung onto the grass through the cold, but most of it has melted into the ground leaving behind a soggy dampness in the soil.
I would prefer my outdoor view to be of a snow fall. Perhaps a snow storm. The view of the white flakes falling from the sky have always calmed me. It’s a beautiful, almost magical sense of feeling it brings – reminiscent of Christmas. I’m not sure which I like more: the feeling of coziness it instills in me as I see the swirling white flakes outside in the wind while I myself am wrapped in a blanket and fuzzy socks with a warm cup of coffee or the nostalgia it brings from the wild and lazy snow days that hold many core memories from college. That blanket of white that coats the outside brings a sense that a slate is being wiped clean. Of course the fallout from the snow is never fun to deal with. The slush, the ice, the absolutely cold to the bones feeling as you trek through whatever remains is never a fun thing to handle, but in that moment.. in that moment you’re looking out of your window watching the snowflakes fall to the ground, all thoughts of the aftermath are suspended. Only the pure white is seen. Only the magic is felt.
I hear it’s going to be a cold winter here in the DMV area this year. And I am looking forward to it a bit more than I’d like to confess to.
