today i looked outside and, again, fresh snow infested the ground.....lots of fresh snow. O.O So...i decided to go out and partake in it. I put on a warm coat and my mountain shoes.Dudley stayed home and matty and i stepped outside. How wonderful! It was still snowing pretty hard...and we were trekking in new snow. i love that...walking on something no one has walked on before...even if it is just snow. I played the .hack/sign soundtrack on my eye pawed....it proved to be very fitting. I like walking with matty because she stayes right next to me, never venturing far. <3 i am extremely thankful for her. ^.^;; We walked around the neighborhood, which i quickly got bored of....so i took her to the road that just ends. Its a great place. Where the road ends there is a small barb-wire fence and a huge, magestic, fine speicimen of a tree. I love that tree dearly..I always have ever since i discovered it. Behind the fence is a large field....probably belongs to someone but it makes a fine place to just sit and revel. Matty ran around and i stood looking up at the snow. oh, how i admire it. We then traversed out into the street, accross the road, past a school, and to a frozenish pond. In the summer there are many frogs hopping around there. We walked for a very long time! Then we began on our way back and there was this older woman, perhaps in her late 50's, going out to her mailbox. she had on a green coat and camo pants and big green boots. I did the neighborly thing and said "hi"....and asked her how she liked the snow. then our conversation went like this..
Her- "I love it but i wish i were enjoying it in the mountains."
Me- "gah. me too. Its too bad there are no forests around this neighborhood."
Her-"Its my goal to go live in a cabin in the mountains where i can just paint and write.."
Me- "*surprised* me too!.....thats my dream as well...often i prefer trees over people"
Her- "Thats why i moved here....i used to live in California"
then we talked about writing and she told me that somedays she writes poems as long as 3 pages....and how she is inspired by the strangest things.....and i liked talking to her a lot. she was a very good woman.
