‘neath bright blue sky

upon wide open fields of snow

with no end in sight

nothing to do

but to run and to play

on such

a fine

and lovely

winter’s day.

nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere

and the circumference nowhere.

when it’s too cold

for us to go out

to play with the snow

 why not

just bring the snow in

to play with us?

just another

snow day

here

in

even

at

the zoo

it brings

a whole

new meaning

to

down under.

the first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event.

you go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up

in another quite different,

and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?

how some of us are getting around this week in ann arbor

 Spring passes and one remembers one’s innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one’s exuberance. Autumn passes and one remembers one’s reverence. Winter passes and one remembers one’s perseverance. – Yoko Ono

waking and wondering in a winter wonderland

last night i had a dream about my friend who commandeered an old, rusty, garbage truck and put a huge plow on the front. he was determined to make it to my cottage to clear the driveway, and would do whatever it took to get here, mad max armageddon style. many thanks for your loyalty, my friend, and perhaps winter has worn out it’s welcome, even in my dreams.

Winter lingered so long in the lap of Spring that it occasioned a great deal of talk. –  Bill Nye
