Sleeping with a Spoon Under the Pillow

If you live where it snows occasionally, you might have taken part in some rites of passage growing up. As a child, when hoping for a snow day, we would remind all our friends to sleep with our pajamas on inside-out and to put a spoon under the pillow at night. The nostalgic, ethereal experience of waking up excited at 3am, peeking through the blinds, and seeing nothing but a sparkling white sheet of fresh-fallen snow lighting up the nighttime landscape, is what inspired this piece. The feelings that accompany this experience—opening the window and smelling the crisp, clean winter air; being too excited to fall back asleep; and dreaming of the next morning filled with winter paradise activities—follow me every time I see snow falling.
