Haiku

branch        burdened with snow

           long winter

      we    wait





“Storm of the Century”  Minneapolis, Minnesota

“Roads Closed”…… City Plows pulled off the streets! “White-Out” Blizzard! I walked ½ block 
to the indoor track and it was like walking towards a runaway freight- train!

ahhh, giving the feeling of all that snow piled on. Yes, it's a bad winter all around from what I hear. Very good, James!

I hope that you don't get lost in the white-out..Probably got more exercise going there and then coming back home than when inside the indoor track...Enjoyed ..I heard about this a little on the news..Sara
