Day 65

I'm fascinated by snowflakes, there really are no two alike, well there might be but I choose to believe there are no two alike. That's one of the first things I remember learning in school, that no two are alike, I used to think about that, there is A LOT of snow so how could there not be two alike? There had to be, but every one said, nope, each one is different, just like people they would say, but I had seen people who looked just like each other, twins, so my little brain figured there was way more snowflakes just in my front yard than there were people in the whole world, so at least two of them HAD to be alike. There's a problem with proving this, snow melts, you pick it up to look at it, it melts, you bring it inside, it melts faster, you lay in it to get a closer look it doesn't melt but you freeze. So my little five year old brain chose to believe the easy answer, no two are alike. Even now, my old semi adult brain still chooses the easy answer, I have even read a book about snowflakes, how they're formed, how certain weather conditions influence the shape, that there are probably snow flakes that look the same....blah, blah, blah. NOPE, no two are alike, so there, prove me wrong, but dress warm, I would hate for you to catch a cold.

"Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity, so that not a snowflake escapes it's fashioning hand."-Henry David Thoreau
