Snow Lanterns
Today we are experiencing heavy snow due to the ice storm in France and Germany. Looking at the beautiful snowflakes swirling down I am thinking the snow lantern mum taught me to do when she and Dad were staying with us in Switzerland. After that I would make snow lanterns for my child whenever there is heavy snow, even now. During this holiday season, I made several snow lanterns for him though he is a handsome young man, much taller than his mom.
I pressed the snow into hemispheres in big bowls, then used two hemispheres to make a snow ball and placed small candles in the middle of the ball. I made several this time. We lit the candles and watched the snow melting away bit by bit, finally the snow balls became splendid transparent snow lanterns. I noticed my son’s face brightened up with sweet smile. I wondered what he was thinking. Beautiful memory of his childhood?
