Staring out of my living room window

Standing in my fuzzy socks
I look out of my living room window
to find my deck coated in a thick layer of white snow

To the left I see over the neighbor's fence
the playground is abandoned
and covered in ice sicles

Today I notice that the color of the fabric has faded from its vibrant red hugh
Sometimes I can see my chickens wandering around the back yard,
escaping from their coop and resting in the shade of the trampoline.

But today the chickens reside in their warm home and the sun gleams down on the snow
leaving a shimmer along the surface
of the ground
off in the distance
I see the rooftops of all of the houses covered in snow
