SNOW.

I was working diligently at my computer by the window and texting with a friend. She is waiting for the garage to finish putting the snow tires on her car. I need to do that too. She told me it's supposed to snow tomorrow.
I looked out the window, thinking, trying to do math—finances are today's Saturday morning theme.
Suddenly I realized, the sentence slowly rolling through my head like a clearing fog over the bay:
I t ' s  s n o w i n g .
A big smile spread across my face as I sat up a little straighter and tried not to welcome the flakes with a high-pitched squeal. I looked for someone to smile with. Nothing. The café is full...does no one else see this?!
Oh, wait…I am remembering now, I live in Alaska.

A really nice couple took this photo for me just now. They were so confused when I asked them to take a picture, I had to explain to them this is my first snow in Alaska. After that, they were very nice and obliging. 

"Oh..." as they smiled and winked at my innocence.
