a winter delight~

"One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;
And have been cold a long time

To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter
Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,

In the sound of a few leaves,
Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place

For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is."
Wallace Stevens, Snow Man



Jan. 4

sunday we took our first drive of the new year

and headed towards the mountains



over the bridge

and through the woods

mere traces of snow

lining the roads

but as we climbed

 the more it became

a feast for our eyes

a winter wonderland

so far different than we'd ever seen



i could not get our littles dressed fast enough

i could feel the desire rushing through my veins

truly a sight to behold

you could see the magic

the gift that nature had given

for as far as ones eyes could see

it glistened

and sparkled

like i'd never seen

i have yet to resolve my blogger photo storage issue
just been deleting old pics ect
will be contacting a lady here this day
and hopefully i can get back up with lots and lots of photos to share
