It was the first snowfall of the year and what a snowfall it was! The whole town was covered in an inch of snow by Saturday noon, and the locals were either enjoying this rare occurrence or cleaning it up as best as they could. In a neighborhood not far from town, an African American couple was standing in their backyard, bundled up in jackets and surveying the weather.
“Well, you don’t see this every winter down here,” Wayne Franklin said, catching snowflakes with his hand. “We finally have a day where we can build snowmen, make snow angels, have snowball fights…”
“A day with no sunbathing, no using the pool, no natural gardening,” grumbled his wife, Angela.
“Ah don’t be like that Angie,” Wayne replied, putting his hands on her shoulders, “You can do that any time of the year. This is like once in a lifetime.”
“Hanging out under the sun in my own skin all year long is what I like about living here,” pouted Angela.
“We could be inside and sip hot cocoa in our own skin,” Wayne said to her with a twinkle in his eyes.
Angela pursed her lips, then smiled when she got an idea. “I think I want to do something else.”
Mrs. Franklin then threw off her jacket and boots then shed her shirt, pants and socks, leaving her in her birthday suit. She then pranced around the snowy backyard, enjoying the sensation of the snowflakes on her bare skin.
Wayne groaned and called out to Angela, “Come on Angie, get your gear back on! You’ll get sick out here.”
“Oh, live a little baby,” Angela said to him with a bright smile, “It’s like you said, this is once in a lifetime!”
Mr. Franklin grunted and tried picking up her clothes but noticed her giggling and enjoying herself even in the cold. And why wouldn’t she; this would probably be the first and only time to experience naturism in the snow. With that in mind, he couldn’t help but feel left out.
‘If you can’t beat ‘em,, join ‘em,’ the man recited the old cliché in his head.
Dropping his wife’s garments, Wayne quickly shucked off his own winter clothes and felt the shocking briskness of the cold hit him, eventually giving way to a refreshing feeling surrounding his naked body.
Now united in nudity, Angela and Franklin had the usual winter past times, like building a snowman and making snow angels, laughing out loud as they enjoyed being out in nature and each other’s company.
An hour later, the naturist couple were sitting on the couch, shivering and wrapped in blankets as they soaked their feet in small tubs of warm water.
“I-I’d say that was w-worth it. We g-got to e-experience something n-new,” Angela said in between chattering teeth.
“I c-completely agree. It was unique and we probably wouldn’t get have this in a long t-time,” Wayne replied with a small smile and a sniffle. He then sneezed.
