Winter Moments

Watching the snow falling outside,
  Through the white drifts a lone deer glides.
Under the grove of laden trees, she stops,
   Stretches her neck, for leaves to crop.
Someone spooks her and off she goes,
   Leaving footprints in the blanket of snow.

A lone chickadee lands on my deck,
   From the seeds there, she starts to peck.
If not for God's creatures, some great, some small,
   I would not appreciate this winter weather at all.
As inconvenient as this winter snow can be
   It still has it's beautiful moments for all to see.





*it's snowing like mad today, so my visitors this afternoon took
some of the annoyance out of it.

As long as I'm inside and warm, I don't mind looking at the winter scenery either. You have described it all quite well in this entry.

How fortunate to see God's creatures as the snow blankets the earth! Wonderful use of imagery, Francine. If it snowed here, I'd not be annoyed. I'd be sooo happy! Go take a walk in that snow and enjoy it. Love, Carolyn

Here also in Mi the weatherman says that we will receive snow, we may experience both the inconvenience and the joy, Francine
