A Beekeeper's Wife (to Bee)

Today I woke up earlier than normal. This is not an normal occurrence for me as I am the type who has trouble rising when the sun is still sleeping. As I lay in the dark snuggled under my blankets I listened to the sound of the wind and I think I knew even at that moment that this wind was different than any other wind I had heard in Lethbridge before. So slowly I got up and peered out my window and all I could see was the frost and pure blackness. It wasn't I stepped outside ready to head to school that I saw what made the wind different.

SNOW!

The very first snowfall.


Its hard to tell here but the snow and wind was actually very strong and by evening it was up to my ankles.

As I got to my car I attempted to open my door only to find it firmly iced shut. Since it was only -3 out the snow was falling and becoming instant ice. It was actually so bad out that it was hard to walk on the road let alone drive. I had an exam that morning but as I listened to the radio most of the school were shut down due to horrible condition. All the school except mine of course.

It was actually nice going to school though because I got prime parking next to the door, the hallways were empty and the best chairs in the library were available.

And now here I am at home, snuggled under a nice warm blanket with a cup of tea. Sometimes i love winter.
