Remember when we had snow...

I took this photograph on Thursday.  Do you remember when you played in school grounds, it doesn't seem so long ago, and as I looked at these little girls it seems like the routines hardly change.  Little girls still like to wear red coats and walk around arm in arm in solidarity and it seems like such a timeless thing when I saw it again just this week in the playground of my son Dexter's school.



As you can see, the snow melted and so it felt like winter had gone.  It is hard to believe that only just over a week ago we had lots of snow and it felt like winter with everything all crisp and white? Remember how beautiful it was and then it all melted?  Well this morning woke up, opened the curtains and it was all white, about an inch of white - yey!



You never know what is round the corner that is why you have to love every moment of it and enjoy the ride holding on for as long as you can and feel the rush of it all as it is one big blast if you want it to be and I definitely do.



I never understand why people don't grab onto living life.  
Seasons come and go but time does not stop.


Frame each moment of your life and remember to cherish them.


You just never know what is going to blow into or out of your life....


Santa will still make his deliveries though even if the post doesn't!

    "Frame each moment of your life and remember to cherish them." I need to remember this more often.

    Happy SIMC and have a safe and festive Christmas.

    Thank you so much for your really lovely comments. It is still snowing and I guess we are up to about 2 inches + in central Edinburgh which is quite something. It is so beautiful and I am going to go ice skating later with Dexter - yey!

    Thank you Ashley and Rosie. I wondered what to do for winter until this morning when I opened the curtains! I had originally put a picture in which I got from when we got our Christmas Tree, but then watching the snow falling hard and beautiful this morning, I just decided to snap some new shots specially!

    I like her red coat in the first shot, sort of reminds me ao Schindler's list.

    Thanks Betsy and Sheri for your comments, and yes I can see why it reminds you of Schindler's List, it could also remind you of "Don't look now" too.

    Sieversten, glad you like the eye (frame) shot too. I love my son's eyes.

    Jamie, I am glad you like the one of Dexter too. I actually had it printed professionally today as I liked it too but then I never tire of looking at Dexter!
