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.
