Perched on Mamma’s lap in the horse-drawn sleigh, she took it upon herself to describe every detail. “There’s white everywhere. Looks just like sugar frosting!”
“Are the trees covered with white, too?” asked Mamma, both of them wrapped in woolen blankets.
“The branches look like ice cream Popsicles, without no chocolate, all coated with ice the whole way ’round each branch. Honest, they do.”
“And the fields? Tell me about the wide-open spaces.”
“I wish I had some black paper to draw on right no
...w. I’d make the snow with a white crayon—so someday when you see again, you can remember this day.”
Mammi Susanna snorted like the horse, but Annie kept on. “I’d make my drawing look just like the neighbors’ field and their yard, too.”
“Rebekah Zook’s yellow spider mums are but a memory,” Susanna said with an absentminded sigh.
“How do you see the snow today, Mammi?” Annie asked.
“Ach, snow’s snow,” her grandmother replied, waving her mittened hand in the air.
