Mountain slopes clad in snow, br plains and paths covered in snow, br sloping roofs layered with snow, br tall pine trees sprayed with snow, br and fallen pine cones enveloped in snow. br There’s a calm but eerie stillness br and all over - an innocent and pure whiteness... br stretching as far as the eyes can see. br br The street, the sidewalk, the children’s park - br all covered by a white carpet. br In the diffuse sunlight br the whiteness does completely reflect. br Little kids leave tiny footprints br on the carpet of snow. br They indulge in snowball fights br from the top of the slide and below. br br Red, blue, yellow, orange and green br Snowsuits, mittens and caps br are everywhere seen. br Older children go sledging br on the steep white slopes br on colorful sledges dotting the snowy terrain. br The air is fresh, crisp and cold br Whiteness, whiteness everywhere; behold! br br In the midst of all the fun and mirth br Let’s thank Heaven for whitewashing the Earth.
