Well here in western Ohio we have been hit with a gift from Mother Nature. Whether we see it as a gift or not is up to us. Kids see it as a gift for the fact that snow days are no school days. Others see it as a pain in the rear. But the shear beauty of snow really is something everyone should stop and enjoy. In downtown Greenville, I am sure numerous downtown businesses are praying for the melting of 12" of powder to speed up. Eight foot mounds occupy every corner of downtown. The above picture however says it all. As long as a welcoming path hits your destination what does it matter how many feet of snow we have? Take the beauty of it in and have the attitude of sunny skies.
What's great about a downtown is that it is walkable. In the winter, if I don't have to drive I am happy. So downtown allows one to do that. Get things you need, take in the mounds of snow, help a neighbor and visit with others with the simple task of walking. Take winter as the time to mingle and uplift one another.
Soon the 8' mounds will melt away and sunny skies will be all we see, for everyone gets wrapped up in vacations, convertibles, and fairs that there is no time for simple conversation and mingling. What a gift snow is.
The sidewalk is always clear for those who wish to visit downtown.
