The First Snowfall

A change in seasons Outside it is cold Snowflakes falling now Covering the ground Corner to corner Spreading on the ground The birds are searching For bird seeds and nuts If we are ready For the winter chill

It is beautiful to see. But, having said that, I moved to Phoenix just not to have to deal with it. Then, again, we get Sun here corner-to-corner. It can be a bit much even for Sun Lovers. Love your little poem.

Hello Joe DiMino, yes the snowfall can be beautiful. but when it is freezing rain and snowstorms that is rough for some people. Yes too much sun is not good either. Be careful with the sunshine. Thank you for the lovely comment. have a nice day my friend.

We had our first snowfall yesterday. It was quite pretty. I personally could do without the cold. Still if one lives in Canada you have to deal with weather and make the best of all four seasons. Hugs Rick.
