Snow is beautiful, with each snowflake totally different from one another. They dance and play in the sky turning everything white and lovely. Could snow possibly be love letters or Valentines from above? Please enjoy “Winter Valentines” by #petrouchkaalexieva This beautiful poem can be found in the MockingOwl Roost blog.
