after the blizzard 
evergreens caked with icing...
topped with cardinals

Charlie, a wonderful haiku, I don't remember seeing this one in the contest.

Thank you, Charlie. I went back and looked at the entries and it wasn't there. There have been some weird glitches with contests lately. Merry Christmas to you as well!
