I love the poetry,pretty graphics, revisit to WashingtonDC
and the cuddles


Dust of Snow by Robert Frost (1923)

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
*****

Beyond the windows
patterned by the configurations
of small leaf shapes of ice,
only the very tops of fences
have not been rubbed out
by your sudden, silent fall.

Covering my garden
in sheets of white,
you now become my jailer.
My early morning lights
flicker as I search for candles.

You will not feel
the bottoms of my shoes.
For today is a day for warm slippers,
log fires, extra clothes,
hot chocolate, cuddles,
deserted roads,
and phone calls
to disappointed bosses.

That's one of my favorite Robert Frost poems.

Thanks for that and the ccccold winter scene. The morning has dawned bright and sunshiny here. A welcome change after all the rain and clouds we've had. Looks like it may turn out to be a nice pre-spring day. I have some ground roses to tend to, this just might be a good day for it.

Happy Tuesday to you, MEG.
