Contentment

"When you are content to be

simply yourself

and don't compare

or compete,

everyone will respect you."

Heat

Before long, we're all going to be

complaining 

about the heat.

Maybe not.

Snow Walkers

"What a wild Winter sound,-

wild and weird, 

up among the ghostly hills...

I get up in the middle of the night to hear it.

It is refreshing to the ear,

and one delights to know that such wild creatures

are among us.

At this season

Nature makes the most of every throb of life 

that can withstand her severity."

~John Burroughs

The Snow Walkers, 1866

Frozen

These beautiful swans are frozen in love.

Happy Love weekend!

Love

"Blessed is the season

which engages the

whole world

in a conspiracy

 of  Love."

One Lady, Two Ways

We feed the deer.

They love the corn from the

local feed store.

They are hungrier in Winter,

and this year, they are muscular and heavier than previous years.

They stare in our windows and doors and,

 this morning,

a little lady was on our deck!!

She walked up the staircase,

stared in our kitchen door,

looking for her lunch.

I'd love to have her in for tea!

Have a happy weekend,

enjoy the cold,

the snow,

the sunset,

and the wildlife.

I'll be talking to the animals!

Dead of Winter

"Let us love Winter,

for it is the Spring

of genius."
