Some days in winter are snow globe days.
Snow globe days are quite rare even where I live.
A snow globe day is when snowflakes are coming down gently, but so fast you can actually see them piling up before your very eyes.
A snow globe day reminds you of a post card setting, painting or holiday greeting card you once saw and thought you would never actually experience in real life.
A snow globe day makes you feel like a kid again experiencing the first magical snow fall of the season.
A snow globe day says, stop whatever you’re doing and look out your window – just stop and look.
A snow globe day is not a day to stay indoors.
A snow globe day nudges you to put on your coat, hat, boots, gloves and get outside to play with your dogs and act like a kid again.
A snow globe day isn’t a day at all, but rather fleeting moments of a winter day, moments that can be as easily missed as noticed.
Snow globe moments take your breath away.
I love snow globe days and snow globe moments.
My dogs do too.
A snow globe day is a good day for a dog to…
Stand on a hill.
Or discover buried treasures.
A snow globe day makes a dog…
Feel ready for anything.
Or just wonder when we’ll get back inside.
Yes, snow globe days are the best days of winter by far.
Do you have snow globe days where you live?

My dog and I both love our "snow days." Although Ace gets cold easily, he never has to worry about getting snow caught in his paws like his long-coated friends!
Looking good, Elsie! :)

Lindsay, We have been having another snow globe day here today. It's gorgeous out. Ace gets to enjoy lots of them. He's such a lucky boy! And Elsie says thanks.

Like Renn, I miss the snow globe days too although I am enjoying my move back to LA where we have had an unusually warm winter. It's so nice to read your post and see the joy of being in the moment. I love how much fun your dogs are having and how beautifully you captured the moment. Thanks for sharing!

Susan, It was a fun post to write. Sometimes enjoying the moment is as simple as looking out your window. Thanks for reading and commenting. Enjoy those warm temps!

Nancy,
Your dogs are certainly having a blast! I love these pictures. In the Chicago area, we get those days, too. In fact, today is one of them. Now that I have a four-year-old, I get to experience childhood all over again, and it's better the second time around.

Beth, Kids and dogs know best how to live in the moment that's for sure. They are good reminders to the rest of us. Enjoy your "second childhood" mom!

Oh Nancy, love this. Goliath loved the snow so much. He'd bury his whole head in and come out shaking, snow flying everywhere. He also loved to run his tongue along the snow as he walked, never stopping. Unless he came upon some yellow snow. Thanks for sharing. I'm smiling at the memories. Enjoy your snow days and your furry friends.

Stacey, It seems lots of dogs love snow. They remind us it's okay to act silly in it. I've never really heard of a dog running his tongue along in the snow nonstop. That's funny. Thanks for sharing some special memories about Goliath. I can sure tell he was a much loved dog.

Makes me miss my Foxy, who, with his Nordic dog genes and his weatherproof fur, was always ready for the Iditerod at the drop of a snowflake....

Kathi, Foxy must have been a wonderful dog. I remember a couple of your posts... It's nice to have those fond memories of our pets, though they tug at our hearts too. Thanks so much for reading and commenting, Kathi.
