Walton Snow Fall...5/1/25

entry picture


I looked from my window and what did I see?
Covered in snow, the Walton Christmas Tree!
As they predicted, heavy snow fell overnight.
So I woke up this morning to a beautiful sight!

The tree looked so amazing on this 12th day.
If only a day or two longer the tree could stay!
But tradition is tradition, so today it must go.
But what a way to depart, all sprinkled in snow!

So, I jumped on my snow sleigh for a short ride.
And I asked the Christmas tree for its best side!
I took a few pictures…my hands freezing cold.
And the tree lights in the dark glittered like gold!

‘Hello winter snow fall’ you've arrived in style!
The party maybe over, but please stay a while.
So stay away hail…don’t show your face rain.
We want to see snowmen all along Barlow Lane!
