The air too soon was frosty,
And I walked on frozen ground.
January brought no joy no thaw,
As winter clamped us in its vice,
But now it’s February and we stand in Awe.
The winter has eased its grip,
the snow and ice just melt away,
No gripes, I’ll just zip my lip.
The other day brought the first of blessed relief from the bitter cold. Unfortunately, the camera cannot handle the high contrast ratio. Reflections on the rivulets looked like sparkling diamonds. I’ll have to get a refraction grating for my camera. (If I can save some money.)
As I turned to take the mail back to the house, I heard the sound of my neighbor’s tractor. It was headed my way. Here came neighbor, Bob, and he was carrying hay.
So soon he passed with food for his cattle (aka: steak on the hoof). It’s a common sight to see this hard-working older fellow. A good man, and a fine neighbor.
How many days to spring?
