My Winter Garden
There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you .....
In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on
each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer,
quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself.
~ Ruth Stout (1918-2008)
Iced
Frozen spruces emit strong fragrances
Ice and moss
Timidest
Ice by night
...a breathing too quiet to hear
