# 1. Winter … I’m not a fan of winter or cold weather or snow. But, I will say it is pretty when everything is coated with frosty snow, ice, drifts, icicles, because it’s different. The best time I remember was like the song, ‘Walking in a Winter Wonderland’. We’d been at our neighbor’s house playing cards until after midnight. Might have been New Years Eve/night. We had had snow, maybe a few inches. When we walked home it was dark, quiet, snow gently falling, and you know that sort of glow that snow has … that. Our feet were crunching along, and then we hear a whole flock of geese flying over to land at the lake by the house. They were sounding eerie, hauntingly honking in the air right over our heads. We couldn’t see them, just hear them. Now that was magical.

Writer’s Workshop – Magical Marfa

The link below is where you find several prompt questions and other instructions.

Writer’s Workshop Prompts for April 4, 2024

***

I choose two prompts = 8 sentences … about a magical place I’ve visited

1. One favorite place I’ve been, and this may be a bit un-natural, is over by Marfa, Tx.
2. I’ve seen the Marfa Lights, bobbing around out in a darkened field.
3. Very eerie and mysterious.
4. What causes these “Ghost Lights”?
5. It’s not car headlights, and it’s not swamp gas.
6. There are just acres and acres of scrub brush, cactus, grass and mesquite bushes.
7. There is a pavillion, viewing area, and it’s all hush-hush as people are quietly amazed.
8. It’s spooky and magical there in the dark to see mysterious lights that have been documented since the 1800s.

I don’t know if these lights are real or not, or just that some say yes, and some say no.

For me, I choose to believe.

Here’s a magazine article about them that a person wrote about his experiences. Very interesting.
