Thank you, Anne-Lise. I enjoyed your - Haiku X 166 - Snow - too :) Congrats on your win and for the lovely image chosen. Where I live the average snowfall is zero inches. So I guess you can say where I live, "there pepper grows!" ;) ~Mark

Glad to see this one, Mark. I always love when time falls behind and I get that extra hour sleep!! i heard they are gonna do away with daylight savings though, so I am confused about what will happen. I think maybe no setting the clock forward in the spring? Congrats here on your win

Thank you, Andrea. Your "in late fall" was lovely. Congrats on your win too. It will be interesting to see what happens with regard to #DitchTheSwitch and #LockTheClock. ~Mark
