Snowflakes dance gently in the air. I grab handfuls of soft snow, roll them into perfect spheres, and launch them at the tree house fort. My friend’s old tire swing shakes with each hit. I giggle as a snowball bounces off my mittened hand. The sun peeks through the clouds, creating sparkles on the ground. More snowballs fly, flying past and sticking to branches. A small avalanche tumbles down the hill, rolling towards the fort. It’s chilly but fun, like a winter game of tag.
