Winter Wind December 10, 2014
I am listening
To the winter wind, trees sway
Year end moves forward.
Art Prescription: Winter is upon us…into the 20’s tonight. How grateful I am to have a warm house and heat that comes on at a moments touch. Blankets and quilts and fluffy robes…truly the riches of the holidays.

Cold, wet, steady rain
I peer into the warm stall
After the vet check.

Dried hydrangeas
Their season of glory done
Form, “Damn near perfect.”
