Seasons of Splendor

May Mother Nature receive her due For seasons of splendor each in kind Contrasts noted in color and format Starting with spring, her minuses few, Then, summer in her brightest blues we find Until autumn shows us nature’s palette Of crimson, yellow, orange, and gold All the vibrant colors we know are refined Only to find themselves in a burning vat As winter approaches, oh, so awfully cold Now, ponder that.

Every season has its own sweetness and distinctive flavor. Of course winter is the dullest season when people are mostly confined indoors. Lovely poem, Milton

It is interesting how we ooze into cold stark whiteness after experiencing the vivid autumn colors.

Coming to your neighborhood very soon. I had to put my coat on to read this Milton. With the price of oil now we have to turn the thermostat down and start wearing our coats indoor. How much blood can they suck out of us. This is going to be a hard winter financially for the middle class. Not looking forward to hear the winter stories of not having fuel and the price of fuel and people choosing between heating their homes or eating but were taking care of every other country accept our own...

There is so much truth to what you have said, Michael. It is going to be a long, cold winter, to be sure.
