一年一度,我們去多倫多度假。正值多倫多大停電,在平安夜,我們來到了郊外的旅館。已經是午夜時分,四周一片寂靜,走下車來,我被眼前的美景所震懾。晶瑩剔透的冰枝,在夜色下透射著奇異的光澤,噢,美不勝收,美若仙境。盡管我知道這樣說不公平,三十萬戶人家沒有電,黑暗與寒冷,許多人在受難之中,可這是一種超乎尋常的美。我在雪地裏站著,女兒陪伴著我,任憑雪花紛揚,飄灑在身上、臉上與手上,這是一個怎樣的風花雪夜啊。


老公來催了,兒子也來催了,男人總是比較實際,不過也是一份關心,告誡我們該是睡覺的時間了,告誡我們不要凍成冰棍,心中一暖,牽起女兒的手走進了旅館。
聖誕節的早晨,臨窗就看到了雪的世界。

在旅館裏用了早餐。

然後我們到外麵看天然冰雕。







飽飽地享受了冰景之後,就開始聽友人談論冰災。那天下起了寒雨,那是零下的冬季,那些雨就在樹上結成了冰枝,那些樹枝不能承受其重,然後一枝一枝地撕裂。那是一個百年不遇的夜晚,聆聽著樹枝倒地的聲音,風聲鶴聲,整宿整夜,那是一個怎樣驚心動魄的夜晚,然後就是三十萬戶人家的大停電。
好在我們住的地方來電了,走親訪友,吃喝玩樂,又開始了正常的多倫多假期。兒子與女兒非常高興,室內有電有溫暖,室外有雪有玩耍。

我天天在雪國賞雪,驚歎天上紛紛的雪花,驚異地上純純的雪白。我好喜歡這樣白茫茫的一片,冰淩透明,白雪鬆軟,掩蓋了塵土,掩蓋了雜質,這是怎樣的一個人間仙境啊!
