In the evenings light‚ my car rolls up the white gravel and creeps to a stop. It has been eight years since I have last seen my beloved grandmother. She owns a retirement getaway between two snow-capped mountains‚ in a tiny‚ yet glorious country ranch. Everything was so familiar and untouched. Orange and red tulips‚ that grandma and I planted‚ still surround the base of the house. The large weeping willow‚ that danced with the wind‚ still shades the garden that is on the side of the house.

One breezy evening I decided to go out for a walk. I loved how the warm breeze felt against my face. While walking‚ not even noticing where I was going‚ I turned a sharp corner and nothing was there but a dirt path and forest surrounding it. I walked on‚ day-dreaming about how this place looked like a fairytale. When there was a sudden change‚ there was a small gap leading into the forest where there was a river. The river curled in all directions and the calm‚ smooth surface looked trusting‚ and

Watching the snow fall is very peaceful. It falls without a sound unlike rain. There are a lot of things to do to with snow. Like making huge snow

Examining my personality‚ it is immediately apparent that the color that describes me best would have to be of a blue hue. Many aspects of myself‚ from my quiet nature and mellow outlook on life‚ to my desire for knowledge and creative drive‚ are‚ in my mind‚ tinted with a cool blue. Out of all of the blue hued Crayola colors‚ however‚ I find that I most associate myself with the color periwinkle. The name of this Crayon fascinated me when I first discovered it as a child in my 96-color Crayola
