Picture by good friend, Fred Villacorta
Ontario, Canada
Under canopy
Icicles drip from bare trees
Slowly like tear drops
~0~0~
Snow falling like rain
Drenches red bows & pine cones-
Ice sugar on cake
~0~0~
This Christmas season -
The best gift of all- your love
unwrapped through the years

ReplyDeleteWe had quite the white Christmas that I could only dream of way back when. Have a wonderful and safe Christmas season. As they say, our hands may be cold, but our hearts are warm - so it's all good. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite time to venture out when we lived in Northern Michigan (all bundled up) was after an ice storm - truly a magical time. Your words captured it beautifully.
