Winter Woods

Winter wears a warm white coat, and wraps a scarf around her throat. She knits the trees lacy white caps, and carpets with snow, growing things that nap. Then in the morning, when hungry creatures wake, she fills their bowls with frosted flakes.

Snow works its magic to those who take the time to see! You have to have eyes to look beyond the obvious. I pray that God will let me keep mine!
