A Winter's Harvest

With long hair wrapped up, rugged nails dirt dipped,
denim overalls and barnyard boots,
I set forth to get them gnarly raspberry stalks clipped,
and return with harvested horseradish roots
and frost freshened persimmon fruits.

Juliet, Oh my dear..,you of the harvest and fair harvest hands. Will the daylight last for one more look at the setting sun. And will the day be any less wonderful for you alone? -Richard

Thanks, Charles. It's been a mild winter this year here in beautiful zone 8. We just got a persimmon tree last year, but won't expect fruit for a few years. Happy New Year to you too. Poetic hugs.
