i wake and fumble
frantically to shut off
the beeping alarm
of the snowplow backing up
outside my bedroom window

Sometimes the simplest things can warm our hearts, even on the coldest of days

lines in heaven
come in hues
of pastel pinks
and baby blues,
but here on earth
the lines unroll
black as the pit
from pole to pole

the female
pheasant has plumage
resplendent,
but males have
marvelous murals of art–
to capture her heart!

i love
new notebooks
with all those creamy
white virgin
pages
all
strung with
thin blue lines
on which to hang my
freshly-washed
words
and
i like
to imagine
what great stories
could hang out
here

Good morning from Williams, MN, near Lake of the Woods! I’ve shoveled out our never-ending driveway three times in as many days. It’s 20 degrees below zero right now, and we’re expecting 30 below by tomorrow night. This place is not for the faint of heart!
On the other hand, the nature and wildlife photography opportunities here are unrivaled. There are so many deer, that almost every vehicle around here has a headlight out. And all of that roadkill brings out eagles, hawks, magpies, wolves, fox, and of course, the ubiquitous crows. Have a warm day!!
