(more) snow in seattle

(my glove got in the corner of this one, but we can pretend it's a grey snowflake)

then eventually this rain starts back up, and washes our day of snow away, and school doesn't get cancelled and the brightness of the world turns back to grey.

but we had it for a little bit. the inch of thick snow crushed under my boots and made that sound, that sound that crunches in a way unique to snow. for a little bit we had snow routes for buses and snowmen sitting on campus benches. and for a little bit I didn't care that it was cold because, my goodness, it snowed. and my walk home from the library consisted of The Middle East's music on repeat, a goodnessknows cranberry chocolate snack tucked into my gloves, and me, jumping through the snow.

it was quiet, and it was good, and it was what I needed.

the snow. the snow does that.
