thanks for dropping by Silent One and for sharing. We're milder here, too, this year. Next week, however, promises to be a bitter cold one with rain...hopefully, it won't freeze. Black ice is the worst to drive on. Sara

January is always the month you want out the road. Then when it's over, the year flies by.

I agree...to use a trite expression, January is as slow as molasses! thanks for your visit, Paul.

Wow this is like a beautiful and mellifluous chorus that i would listen to on repeat! How can a haiku sound so gorgeous, only you can show that through your exquisite word weaving. I especially love the line “come and kiss me cold” just brilliant! And so soulful! You know how to personify nature in few syllables! So creative! Pleasure reading your work always. Sending you light always
