Full Snow Moon(February)


Snow Moon, so named because this is the month in which the most snow falls, usually, and especially true for the Northeastern US
this year. The wind howls past the corners of the house making a pitiful sound. Even the stories told around the the Electric Campfire don't warm
my chilled bones, the owls have gone silent, It is a silent,Snow moon,and aptly named.
Gia slowly rises from her slumbers,sirring under her blanket of snow. Who really wants to wake to a cold house and drifting snow, to rekindle the fire, which must be done, must nicer to snuggle deeper into the cocoon of blankets and dream on.
