note to all:
due to the season’s
short days and
lack of light,
nature’s art will be seen in
mostly black and white

first snow
here we go
temps will drop
winds will blow
car won’t start
late for work
snowplow man
what a jerk
but wait a sec
it’s not that bad
i didn’t mean
to make you sad
the holidays
are almost here
a gift of joy
a time of cheer
and so i hope
you understand
i love the winter
wonderland

sometimes the best way
to get around a problem
is to go through it

be your own best friend–
there are some roads in life that
you must walk alone

there lives a ground squirrel named jack
who once caught his paw in the track,
but jack had the brains
to duck down for the trains–
which explains all those lines on his back

in the morning mist,
the old lighthouse is eerie–
and yet comforting

I took this photo about a year ago of what I thought was a mama lynx, but since then, a friend of mine from the DNR told me it’s an extremely rare blynx– a hybrid between a lynx and a bobcat. The first one was discovered in Minnesota in 2003, but they put a tracking collar on it that was too tight, and the poor cat starved to death. Since then, they’ve been found in Maine and Michigan as well.
there once was a bobcat named jinx
who had a hot date with a lynx,
and the two, in a rush,
took a roll in the brush,
and promptly created the blynx

humans will tell us
how to be compassionate,
but dogs will show us
