A Pondering Mind

A little of this. A little of that.


January

January can be:
cold, frigid,
blustery, snowy.

January can be:
sunny, windy,
blustery, calm.

January can be:
time to bundle up,
dress in layers.

January can be:
a cruel month,
with short days
and longer nights.

January can be:
some of the above,
or all of the above.
