When wind blows through the leafless branches it looks like shivering to me. Thank you for your comment, Paula!

That snowman is a valuable sentinel in some places, I am sure. Enjoyed this piece. Beautifully done.

Thank you, Sam! It's good to be back but I probably won't be very active the next couple months as I have to take care of my step mom's estate.

This gives the reader a peek at a Norman Rockwell winter scene. Sure do miss his pictures. Don't see them often anymore. Beautiful. God Bless, JB
