“In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, Snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, Long ago.” ~ Christina Rossetti, Poet 1830-1894

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 onContinue reading “Mother Earth ~ Mitchell Burgess”
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 slushyContinue reading “Winter Quote ~ Ogden Nash”
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 theContinue reading “Winter Afternoons”

Today is the first full day of Winter. Here, in the Northeast part of the country, it is early in the evening, and it is in the mid-50s, come Thursday near 70. Truly weird weather.

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,Continue reading “Dirty Snow”

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
