Plow once of the field
Contentedly sits in snow
Resting and rusting
The last day of 2007, a year of good but hard work, and today – a day to rest before the new year begins.

Oak trees hold tight to their leaves
refuse to acknowledge
the passing of autumn
and stand stalwart in the snow,
awaiting spring.

Care to take a walk? Maybe to the wild side?

Winter Solstice
December 22, 2007 by 8 Comments
Snow fell throughout the winter wrapped city,
sweeping the streets and sidewalks, snowflakes dancing with the ice crystals.
All was white and wild.
Winter’s zenith.
In the depths of a darkened, shadowy building
the lamps glowed throughout the longest night. The lamps glowed.
Solstice. The longest night of the year. December 22 at 1:08 am was the mid-point between the equinoxes. From now on, we folk in the Northern Hemisphere will be ‘seeing the light.’
To all, a celebration.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
A snow plow would be delightful.
But the white is sure pretty, so . . .
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
We love snow in Wisconsin. But if we could dig out just enough to sit on the bench before we board the bus, it would be nice.
Madison, Wisconsin – 25.5 inches of snow in December and counting. More to come 3 out of the next 5 days.
BTW. The city is out of money for plowing and sanding the streets for the rest of the year. Hope it doesn’t snow on December 24th.
