View from the backyard last week, right after our first snowstorm of the season.
I've been reading this poem to the boys in the morning, and they quite like it, as do I.
Winter is the king of showmen,
Turning tree stumps into snow men
And houses into birthday cakes
And spreading sugar over the lakes.
Smooth and clean and frost white
The world looks good enough to bite.
That's the season to be young,
Catching snowflakes on your tongue.
Snow is snowy when it's snowing
I'm sorry it's slushy when it's going.

Wishing everyone a blessed Solstice Day!
