here
in the 61st day of winter
the world has fallen
to the hush
of snow,
broken
only by glee-filled
down hill squeals

what a perfect phrase - "glee-filled, down-hill squeals.." Love the joy-filled pics Brian.
It's so beautiful! And the giggles to go along with the downhill squeals...
Looks like a lot of snow fun ~
Nice contrast of hush with squeals ~
Beautiful.
How wonderful! I love the silence and joy of snow!
smiles...yeah i loved the way that one rolled off the tongue djan....we finally have snow!!!!!! yay!
Good times. Good memories. Good grief, you can write, man.
Who was squealing loudest--the boys, or you? Still no snow here. Enjoy!!!
Love the pictures! You guys got a lot of snow!
Fun!!! Way to take advantage of the cold weather. WE won't be doing much of that over here.
Looks like beautiful fun!
61st day of winter would make a good title
delightful poem of a winter day
at last
..most beautiful post.
You finally have snow
And I just want it to go
Actually none here now at all
So you can keep it at your hall
Looks like tons of fun anyway
And such a fuh day
Squealing down hills
Can bring thrills
Walking back up from down below
Is such a pain though
Love snow Brian, and the pictures look absolutely awesome, Huggs to all of you!:)
Enjoy the squeals...here the mercury is going up.
amy we ended up with about 8 inches...janu, the mercury is def going up here so it wont last long...and ds, ha i will admit to quite a few as we set up the skateboard ramps out back for the snowboard and have been jumping...
Oh, and it's a beautiful snow, too! Love that kinds that hangs on every little twig! It just isn't winter without at least one good snowfall! :)
Looks like you'll need to dust off that satellite dish when you're ready to come inside and warm up! :)
I would be squealing in agony if we had that much snow...nice pics;)
Kids and snow--like kids and dogs--- = match made in heaven.
...oh and is that your baby!!
No one loves snow more then the kids!!
Snow angels and sledding...can't beat that! Cute boys!
Your boys are beautiful.
=)
That is just to darned cute!
The hush of snow is always better when there are children and young at heart playing in it.
awww, these are lovely pictures Brian! enjoy the snow :-))
IT seems that you life a "poem" too.
Beautiful child... wonderful snow.
Good grief! You LIVE..., not life. Geez!
Brilliant!

Nuts in May

Sheila
so nice...snow AND sun AND glee-filled down hill squeals...can it get any better..? smiles
Beautiful photos... x
FINALLY we had snow! Love watching and playing with our boys in it....
Delightful. We spent part of today the same way. :)
Aww... your boys are adorable and the snow is beautiful... enjoy!
Priceless! (I'm pretty sure that I don't need to add anything more.)
Pictures and poetry are one. Makes me remember being about five and flying down a hill piled onto my brother Jack, squealing as we tipped over into an enormous, icy cold cushion of fluff.
Oh snow... I love the pics of your boys. but, there is something wrong with their hats... I don't think I would let them wear hats with such major flaws. ;P
What fun! And they root for opposite teams - whoa boy.
The serenity of a snowfall, contrasted with yells of delight, I like it.
Winter doesn't keep the kids from having a ball, does it?
oh I'm jealous....just wrote that I want snow again.
Can you throw me a cold snow ball , please? (not in my neck though)
Oh, you should have said something, we would have been only too pleased to send you some truck loads of ours! LOL
Great pics and pleased to see you all had such fun. :)
So cute!
Great shots!
Looks like fun...you all got quite a bit of snow, huh? we just got a dusting here...and it's all gone already.
Sweet and cute boys :)
This was great. Awesome to have real pics that support your writing.
We hee in portland got snow for a min....no more, so bummed. I liked your short here.
How Fun Enjoy :-)
Nothing more fun than to listen to those 'downhill squeals.' I remember them well from my own childhood and my children's. And, hmmm, I did notice a Green Bay Packer hat! Smile. Good taste, Brian.
that's a great moment there, so glad I don't have that snow here right now- go figure right- but looks and sounds like you make the most of it, which you seem to have that knack with everything- a part of your writing that always rings true. But I do have a question though, how were you not able to convince the one boy to be a steelers fan as well- packers are cool and all, but kinda just figured it would be steel curtain all the way there:)
OH! So you got some of that snow I've seen and heard about on the news. Here in NYC my crocus are pushing up.
Beautiful words and boys.
It's always fun to see people having fun... Love it!

I remember those kind of days-- Bliss!
Glad you guys had fun. jj
Love the line - "the world has fallen to the hush of snow,". Beautiful.
I love to see kids playing in the snow. Such rosy cheeks and big smiles.
Lucky! What we got last weekend was gone within a few days. Supposed to get more but that's immediately followed by rain. This is officially the lamest winter ever in my 20+ years here.
I felt like I was part of the fun here. I can here the silence in the snow, as well as the laughter of the boys (including you).
I like the pictures.
We would love to have snow. The squeals and laughter would be fun. Your kids are certainly enjoying every minute of it!
Hank
what a beautiful life.
happy winter...
What fun. Oh to be a child on a snowy day.
Perfection - which I've just said on another blog is impossible. Oh dear!
Ahaaa! Sweet. That's what snow's about.
Finally....a fun snow day.
Hey! Congrats...you guys got your snow!!!
Woot Woo!!!!
Hugs
SueAnn
Lovely. And cute. K.
I wish we had had snow this year Brian...but now the fruit trees are trying to bloom, so am I nuts for still wanting some snow? Loved the photos!
Sandi
what makes it all worthwhile...
This makes me want a snow cone & 2 young boys.
Ok, maybe a snow cone & 2 young boys for a few hours. ~Mary
ah, beautiful... magical world of fresh-fallen snow
FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks like you guys had a blast
so happy for you!
FINALLY snow....!
okay, i love this, SO much. pure, simple, joy.
glee-filled
down hill squeals
I admire your brevity and the ability to condense sheer joy in those few lines.
Joy always,
Susan
what fun ... great photos! ... children's delight!:)
Looks like a beautiful day was had by all, Brian!
Nice poem and great pictures!
This is beautiful - words and photos. You capture the sheer joy of that moment.
Very fun. Love the imagery and the photos.
We finally had the convergence of a snowstorm and a day off at the same time so I was able to take the kids sledding this past weekend. Great fun!
this proves winter can be fun, great pics mate..
"glee-filled
down hill squeals"
