Wonderful Winter!! Merry Christmas!!!
We've gotten several inches of beautiful white, and we're supposed to get another foot of snow, and it shouldn't melt anytime soon. Skiing, sledding, and pretty! I was even inspired to revise my sonnet,
Blizzard
I love milady Nature when she walks
bedecked in white, when swirling winds do whip
her dress, and rime's painted upon her lips
beneath her veil of creams and greys and chalks.
Some men love her in springtime when all hearts
do lightly turn, or else esteem the nights
of summer, full of their delights
and every sweet enchantment they impart.
Some cherish her in autumn when her skirts
fall brazen from the trees, and sunsets blaze
in cider shades press'd tart from ripening days.
I see her every charm but won't convert.
I love her when she howls in the dark,
and sleep best 'neath her blanket, cold and stark.
.
.
.
And now, heading out into the swirling wild white yonder to a grandmother's house I go...
whee!
God bless us, everyone! (please? you know we need it!)
