    Here's a cute riddle that I found in a magazine.
    I come more softly than a bird as lovely as a flower.
    I sometimes last from year to year
    And sometimes but an hour.
    I stop the swiftest railroad train
    Or break the stoutest tree.
    Yet I'm afraid of fire
    And children play with me.
    What am I?

    I was just going to say snow, actually snow flakes. Darnit, lost again. :(

    If only I hadn't left to get a snack.

    I'm always a second behind Sneezy, eating his dust. Pftttt, getting it out of my mouth.

    But, the raisin toast was worth it. :)

    True, that means it's his fault. Hmmm, interesting. :)

    Okay, the raisin toast wasn't enough, time to forage for more nibbles. :)
