Time for a change... Back to winter! Let's journey over to "Old Man Winter" Farm. Winter at the farmstead, but not necessarily snowy scenes. Please ~ no farm Christmas pins. Bundle up, it's cold out there.

When spring comes, as the tide
Like maize in a pot, it's time to dance and hop 
The missing sun melts the snow, it will not be denied
It starts pretty quiet, with a little 'pop'
Green meadows and many delicious lamb chop

Anne-Lise, congratulations on your Honorable Mention in my writing prompt challenge with your write, it would have placed higher except your reference to lamb chops and as I am a vegetarian that did not fit the beauty of your words _Constance

- When I was a child, I wanted a little curly lamb   ... but, it should ALWAYS be a lamb   ... not an adult sheep with poop in the wool :))) - Thank you very much, Jenny :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
