Snow!

Little girl sits at the window, waiting for it to snow. Perhaps even have it shutters, without glass, and she sticks her hand out, feeling the air.
Snow?
The sky promises snow.
The air smells of it
The wind feels of it.
Snow?
She keeps asking.
then Snow!!! It is snowing!

all the kids run out dressed in snow clothes, and start doing all the fun things you do in snow, snow forts, snow angels, etc.
The little girl stands outside, her eyes closed as she lets the sound of them break on her happy face. She loves snow, and the sound of the rambunctious fun kids have playing in it.

Then she turns, and walks through some scattered trees, feeling the bark beneath her hands.
She takes off her scarf or hat, and feels the snow on her upturned face.
(Somehow show how snow feels, not how it looks, on your upturned face.)
She takes off her mittens, and feels it on her fingers
(show how it feels on fingers and hands.)
she takes off her coat, and feals the wind and the snow on her arms.
(show how it feals)
last, she takes off her shoes, and dances in the snow, in her own special white world as she feals the snow on her feat.
(have you ever gone barefoot in snow? Show the soft feathery fealing of snow on your feet.)
She has carefully hung her stuff over an evergreen branch, and retrieves it,
then she feels the bark of the trees, longingly, as she returns to the world.
She goes in with all of the kids.
kids warming up, etc. She sits down, and writes.
You see the word SNOW in braille, and realize she is blind.
