A very active bit of imagery, I can see that wind blowing snow around and that poor little wind-whipped fern...hope it lasts.

Alexis, what a delightful, musical picture. We have several ferns in our yard and in the winter they do "nod." Like you I hear winter sing! Congratulations on your win. Sending you blessings for the new year.

We had a little snow today, but the weather conditions were not good for it to stick. We don't do well when it snows because we are not prepared since it only happens about every 5 to 10 years and then it is usually only a small amount. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara
