Our winter weather is highly unpredictable
Jack frost often paints frosty ferns on our windows, but we seldom get any snow
Occasionally we get a flurry but it rarely stays on the ground
However, I vividly recall the winter of 2013
It was the first time I purchased thermal underwear!
Gale force winds blew snow into blinding blizzard conditions
Snow fell in such copious amounts it took everyone by surprise
It was the heaviest snowfall recorded in fifty years!
Huge snowdrifts towered up to ten feet in places and they caused chaos
Roads were totally impassable and whole villages were cut off
Little lambs and sheep had no chance and thousands perished
Shop shelves were soon emptied as no supplies could get through
Overhead power lines got damaged and people were without electricity
Yet everyone pulled together to help out those in need
The only ones that were happy were the school kids
All the schools were closed and the children could have fun outdoors
Colossal snowmen appeared in many gardens
Tea trays were used as sledges and toboggans on the snow clad hills
The snow is long gone… but the memories will always remain

I could not relate to the carols;
about jolly, happy snowmen,
when I sculpted in the sand.
I could not relate to the carols;
about riding sleds through the snow,
when I was riding my bike, in the sun.
I could not relate to the carols;
about sitting by a crackling open fire,
when I was sitting by an air-conditioner.
I could not relate to the carols;
about gliding over a pond of ice,
when I was swimming in a cool, blue sea.
I could not relate to the carols;
about lands of winter wonder,
when I stood under a raging sun.
I could not relate to the carols;
about falling snow and freezing cold,
when the land I saw was dry
and
I was sweltering hot.
When sunlight or moonbeams come peeping through
Snowflakes will acquire an ivory hue
Twisting and twirling, confetti on show
Gracing landscape with an ivory glow.
Pirouetting by day or ‘neath moonlight
When ivory flakes dance, it’s a grand sight
Adding glamour to the night or the day
When performing a celestial display.
Softly falling to earth these precious gems
Visions from heavenly angelic friends
Snowflakes adorn tree branches, bare of leaves
Covered in ivory glistening sleeves.
Children wake blissful when snow covers ground
Eager to play with friends gathering round
Building snowmen, having a snowball fight
For them it's having the time of their life.
Snowflakes create a wondrous winter scene
Beautifying earth on ivory screen
A joy to behold, to all folk worldwide
Elation the mystic maker provides.

Whisking flakes fluttering as the icicles start to melt
I'll never forget how the accumulation of snow felt
Natural cool air underneath the wearing of gloves
Time for gramma's hot chololate that I've always loved
Equator shifts and brings forth a winter solstice
Roses are almost here and so are my blooming hostas
Set my clock ahead as we all lose an hour of sleep
Picturesque and perfect bouncing into Spring with a leap
Radiant sun peaks through and shines for more hours
Inches of rain showers nourishing my precious flowers
Navy beans, chives and tomatoes grow with fascination
Green peas and peppers growing within my vegetation
From snowmen to butterflies, two mysteries of the natured mother,
and icicles melting into fresh topiary creating a masterpiece,
with day lilies, tulips and daffodils in my garden covered,
I let them grow, then cut them fresh making a splendid centerpiece.
icicles melting
sprinkles of April showers
gorgeous scenery

"What miracle of weird transforming is this wild work of frost and light, this glimpse of glory infinite?" – John Greenleaf Whittier
Soft snow swirls down from heaven like God's sweet kisses,
Naturally cold candies, their flavour unique,
I catch them on my tongue and they melt in my mouth,
I twirl with the snowflakes under the winter sky,
This frosty white weather was created for me,
I love its cozy stillness and its cool chillness,
Snow angels and snowmen add their magical touch,
Icicles hang like crystal daggers from rooftops,
Adding to the nippy niveous nature dance,
Fluffy floating feathers of an angelic bird
Feefle as flakes... tender freezing flames from beyond,
How I love this still, chill, wintry white wonderworld!
Leftover candy from Halloween tempts all before breakfast
no one will notice.
The leafs on the trees have brown and are falling
raking away, raking away
The nights are colder but the furnace won't come on
cuddle under blankets for warmth
Mornings are cold but the days still warm
tis the season to wear layers of clothing.
Thinking of turkey begins early November
planning the feast in your mind
Make sure the garden hoses are put away
winterizing the house before freezing begins
The dogs begin to sleep with you in bed
warmth in numbers
Thoughts of summer past linger in your mind
maybe a vacation affordable next year
Outside and the wind chills with a whisper
soon Christmas will arrive and a New Year
The Autumn of life reflects the end is near
a soul makes peace in days of cold
for winter has ways to make you feel old.
Shake your head not my time
first snowfall my second childhood finds
Snow ball fights and riding sleds
enjoying tobogganing like a kid
Snowmen and igloos
Hot chocolate spiked with booze
Stay young by having a little fun
the promise of Spring has just begun.
Christmas trees in windows, blinking lights aglow
Snowmen in grandpa’s hat, freshly fallen snow
Little girls in dresses, ribbons in their hair
Little boys in bow ties they don’t want to wear
The kitchen smells of cookies, homemade pies and cake
Sweetness is in the air as Mommy starts to bake
Daddy says the turkeys done and puts it on a platter
The children run to find their seats full of endless chatter
We gather at the table Grandpa says a prayer
Thanking God for family and that he is always there
After dinner near the Christmas Tree you’ll find the girls and boys
Santa had filled the stockings and left all the children toys

Winter crept in secretly with a smile upon her face
Dressing my garden silently with a veil of gossamer lace
A snowflake falls onto my hand; I admire its exquisite form
Its beauty is momentary as it melts on my skin so warm
Small children have such fun as they frolic in the snow
I see them playing happily, their cheeks have a rosy glow
There are imprints of snow angels that the children love to make
Children run inside for hot drinks and warm cookies that I bake
Snowmen are built so skilfully - they seem to touch the sky
Sadly they melt when the thaw arrives, small children often cry
Trees shiver in the bitter winds; Jack Frost points his icy fingers
Icicles sparkle on the trees, Jack’s chilly artwork lingers
Snowdrops raise their sleepy heads and peer out from the snow
Spring will soon be on her way and daffodils will be on show

As much as I love snow,
This cold is enough to make me honest today ~
My old bones require more warmth,
And I have to constantly cover myself from head to toe,
If and when I step out of my cozy home;
The hearth needs to be blazing hot,
And I don't have the strength to chop wood anymore,
Who will help this old, lonely lady?
People around have grown cold over time,
There is a lack of love, warmth and caring,
As the day of the Lord draws nearer,
Or maybe my last day (whichever comes first).
The cold of the night is seeping in
Through these cracked windows and elderly bones,
And my weary wrinkles shiver,
A blanket is not enough nowadays
And I long for the warmth of the sweet Summer sun.
There was a time when I played in the snow,
Making magical snow angels and chubby snowmen,
Catching the soft snowflakes on my tongue,
But now, thinking of the white snow makes me white,
This cold is enough to make me honest today ~
I simply can't bear this chillness any longer.
Oh, blessed Spring I have been waiting for you it seems forever,
Let me throw off this winter coat and put on my raincoat and galoshes;
I love your blue skies and even rain showers that clean the earth,
Delightful spring flowers are sprouting, the violets and tulips are lovely;
Everything is awakening, baby birds are chirping and baby squirrels
scampering.
Oh, beautiful Summer, I have planted seeds in my rainbow garden,
I have my sandals, sundresses in pretty colors and picnic basket ready;
On forest hikes I will go, to the breezy beach and leisurely walks in the park,
When days are sun-drenched hot, I will find a shade tree to rest and ponder;
I love even your thunderstorms and showers that make the earth flourish and
grow.
Oh, Autumn I adore your changing foliage, the falling leaves and coolness,
A crackling fireplace on a breezy fall evening, dreams of pumpkin pie;
Halloween and all the kids, Thanksgiving turkey with stuffing and apple cider,
After, we will rake the multi-colored leaves, crisp and tattered, the smell;
Everything is turning, changing, soon animals and me will be hibernating in warmth.
Oh, Winter my beloved, I love you the most of all, we are linked in spirit,
I was born in a snowstorm, it was bitter cold, the day pure white with snow;
Your brisk cold breath is so frosty, your delicate lacy snowflakes are a delight,
Christmas trees and Christmas Day, snowmen and gingerbread men cheerful;
Yes, I know you have a temper and can get quite gusty and nippy, and
ice-kissed.
