It Spit Snow Today

[csimmva]

  We had our first few snowflakes today.
  Not a fan.
  I used to get butterflies in my belly at the first sight of snow.
  No more.
  Snow before Thanksgiving was a treat; snow before Christmas was mandatory.
  Now?
  Now, I want warmth and life year-round.
  Maybe it's age.
  Maybe I don't want to be denied the pleasures of spring and summer and early fall.
  Or maybe I just don't want slush in my shoes.
