Light Snow

From where did the snow on the ground come?  Just a light dusting, offered like a magical visit from Santa when no one was looking.  How did it happen?  Sometimes when I'm looking the other way, miracles occur.  I open my mailbox and pull out a bank notice which I can't read.  I hear some people arguing indecipherably.  I live in Japan.  I play the cello.  I have friends and family who shape and support me.  Where was I looking?  How did this all happen?
