Almost Winter




Almost winter! December 21st is the winter solstice.
"Winter"  by Annie

Flowered white obliterate...
Snow...unceasing snow”

 "Snow was falling,
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness.”

  3. Love your winter scene at the top so much. Your pictures are also beautiful. Yes, the falling snow is so pretty. I used to love to watch it from inside my warm cozy house! I also enjoyed going out and playing in it...but did not like driving in it. It's hard to believe that it isn't even technically winter yet, but I know for many it has felt like it for a while! We will be in the 30's in the morning here in Florida! That's our winter... have a blessed evening!! Love your little elf. So cute.

    The haiku captures so many senses...an art in itself .
