Days are short now and the sun scarcely makes an appearance as steely gray skies are becoming more the norm. The Snow Queen has left her frozen throne and brings her winter curse upon the land.
The drums of autumn are muffled
by the blowing and drifting of snow
The hapless trees made nude of leaves,
by bitter cold, north wind that blows
***
All creatures now scurry for all they can store
for soon there’ll be snow on the ground, nothing more
and it will be scoured as clean as a pin
by a bitter cold, ruthless, raging north wind.

Good Night Everybody !

Lovely, and I love the artwork
Reblogged this on Céad Míle Fáilte.
Good Morning …
I hope you are staying warm, and enjoying the quiet of Winter…
was thinking about you and wandered over, glad i did, i really like your thoughts and the photo on the top of your blog is Beautiful, made me think of the Kenny Roger’s/Dolly Parton song “Island in the Stream” not sure why …
listening to it made some of the creeping on Winter Blues of these crazy dayz we live in
Take Care Paul…You Matter….
Blessings
