Mother Earth ~ Mitchell Burgess
“If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then autumn rounds out to be reflection. It’s a time of year when the leaves are down and the harvest is in and the perennials are gone. Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on another year and it’s time to reflect on […]
March
It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. -Charles Dickens (1812-1870), Great Expectations
Winter
To shorten winter, borrow some money due in spring. ~W.J. Vogel
Winter Quote ~ Ogden Nash
Winter is the king of showmen, Turning tree stumps into snowmen And houses into birthday cakes And spreading sugar over lakes. Smooth and clean and frosty 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 […]
Winter
He who marvels at the beauty of the world in summer will find equal cause for wonder and admiration in winter…. In winter the stars seem to have rekindled their fires, the moon achieves a fuller triumph, and the heavens wear a look of a more exalted simplicity. -John Burroughs, “The Snow-Walkers,” 1866
Winter Afternoons
There’s a certain Slant of light, Winter afternoons – That oppresses, like the Heft Of Cathedral Tunes – Heavenly Hurt, it gives us – We can find no scar, But internal difference, Where the Meanings, are…. When it comes, the Landscape listens – Shadows – hold their breath – When it goes, ’tis like the […]

Springtime In New England
We all could use a little humor, especially with all the snow that was dumped on us.
Spring Has Begun?
Spring has begun at 6:45 pm Winter made its exit for it to make its return in nine short months. And just like clock clock as when when the old season became the new one, the snows started to fall from the sky. It seems that Mother Nature gave Old Man Winter an unknown extension […]
Dirty Snow
March 20 is to be the first day of Spring, but here in the Boston area, and doesn’t have the feel of a new season set to begin, as it has and still is windy as all hell, with wind chill factors at times in the teens. Also, there is snow to arrive on Friday, […]
Just A Thought
With all the snow in the past three weeks, which was a good amount, there is one way and the best way of looking at it, Laugh! No sense in getting all bent out of shape, as it won’t do you any good. Besides, its Winter! Enjoy it, maybe next Winter will be one of […]

Oh well
Since this is Groundhog Day, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, crawled back to his place. This means six more weeks of winter. According to the calendar, there is six more weeks to go of the winter season, and then spring takes over. So what’s the big deal? Oh well. A Pondering Mind 2014

Wet Snow Day
Got about two inches of heavy, wet snow. It was in the mid 30s F, so that isn’t to bad. The colder weather will be here, come Tuesday. Click on image to enlarge it.Source of quote

Winter Solstice
Today, December 21, begins the first official day of winter. It is also the shortest day of the year, day light wise. As the days start getting longer again, we will have one extra second of day light beginning Wednesday, and as the days go by, gradually the sun will be rising earlier, and setting […]
