~Baby, It’s Cold Outside~
It takes ten minutes
to dawn coat and gloves
scarves and boots and woolen caps
earmuffs and face masks
Pry open the frozen door
and step outside
wait thirty seconds for the dog to pee
and run back into the house
Longing
Just a little rhyme I wrote last week when we received 12 inches of snow the day after it was 71 degrees. Talk about dashed hopes. At least it looks like we are headed back into a warming trend for the next two weeks.

~ Dreaming Again…
On dreary winter days when angels weep
I pull a memory from those I keep
and dream of dancing in the summer’s sun
As winter’s cold devours each brown blade
her blanket of snow covers hill and glade
I dream of dancing in the summer’s sun
When leafless limbs get whipped and tossed
I look through my window burdened with frost
and dream of dancing in the summer’s sun
