Winter

I can see winter.
I can see all the big and small, rough and smooth icicles hanging on trees. I can see all the lights on the trees flashing from red to green. I can see snow men all around ,and kids playing in the puffy white snow.

I can smell winter.
I can smell fresh cake coming out of the blazing hot oven. I can smell creamy cherry pie coming from my neighbors open window. I can smell candy and sweets all around.

I can hear winter.
I can hear snowballs pounding against big houses, then more cloud- like snow is tossed. I can hear happy children running across snowy yards. I can hear choirs singing beautiful Christmas carols.

I can taste winter.
I can taste sugary ginger bread men melting in my mouth. I can taste all the little snowflakes falling on my tongue. I can taste the steaming hot hot cocoa, as I savor every last drop.

I don’t need a calendar to know it’s winter!
