Let The Glorious Dance Begin!

As the sun begins to shine long enough to warm the earth below,
the buds on my trees and bushes will soon begin to pop
and then their leaves will make their grand appearance.

Seeds now buried beneath snow and soil will begin to sprout
and little by little push their way upward toward the warmth of the sun...
and my garden will awake.

It will be as though Mother Nature has cast her magic wand
across the earth.

Let the glorious dance begin!

February Chill

Snow and cold...
and a dash of sunshine.

Snow and cold...
and another dash of sunshine.

This pattern repeats
and repeats
and repeats.

I'm waiting for the sun to linger longer.

White Diamonds

Howling winds.
Snowflakes race horizontally well into the night.

Bitter cold.
Windows display a kaleidescope of frost and snow.

Morning peace.
Long rays of sun beams tumble over the mountain top.

White diamonds.
Sprinklings of fairy dust glisten in the morning sun.

Sunshine and Blue Blue Skies

Sunshine and blue blue skies fill my window.
I look down to see the thermometer... 7° F.

Ahhh. It's gonna be a beautiful day.
Yesterday it was 4° F. when I looked.

We must be a day closer to Spring!

Fresh Snow

Fresh Snow now paints the browns and grays of Winter
Adding soft and quiet tones to the air.
A quiet stillness that invites pause and reflection.
A perfect Winter morning.
