12′ of beautiful white snowflakes piled one on top of the next on our deck
White foam rolling towards us as we play over, under, take the hit
River of chills as I step outside
I move to the shade to avoid the first burn of the year
Bright blue skies offset by the tufts of snow resting in the trees
Knee deep turqoise blue water reflecting a midday sun
The gym, full of gym rats walking, running, stepping, biking.
Body surfers, volleyball, frisbee and smash ball.
Chips and salsa from a bag
Fresh papaya, pineapples and jicama.
Boulder

Playa Riviera,

Your use of imagery takes me to both places- your home and your vacation destination!

Having one makes you appreciate the other and only a 4 hour time difference, even better! It sounds like you will enjoy your break!

Ah, Spring Break! (We start Friday, and I can’t wait.) I love the visual this line brings, “12′ of beautiful white snowflakes piled one on top of the next”. There is a math problem in there, I’m sure. Enjoy the beach.
