Heavy laden sky
surrenders to lure of earth
forest is hush-hush.

It’s so beautiful – when it’s beautiful. Love the image and the sound of this poem read aloud, Betty.
Are you snowed in? We’re still hoping for rain, expecting some later this week. Please….

No snow here at the moment, Sharon – just rain which I’d love to send down to you. We’re saturated up here. Hope you do get some rain soon!
Thank you for your nice comment. 🙂

Me too, Willow. Especially out in the woods where you can actually hear the snowflakes landing. 🌨️❄️☃️😊

Sharon lives down there too so hopefully it’s going to the same place. Will do my best. 🙂

I have always loved that special silence only to be found in a snow-laden woodland. You bring it to life here, Betty.

Beguilingly romantic take on Winter. Almost makes me miss the snow. Almost.

Thank you! 🙂 I’ve always loved snow myself but maybe not as much as I used to these days. Radar is more focused on the coming spring. (The heather are blooming already!)

Perfect words for first snow, Betty. I wish we’d get even a small dusting here. 🙂 We finally have rain though, which we need. Beautiful haiku and stunning photo! Love and hugs xo

Thank you, Lauren! Our first snow was actually a couple of weeks ago. Am hoping for more. 🙂 Hope it snows there too, just for you.

Enjoy it, Betty, when it comes again. We don’t get snow in the bay area, so I’ll just keep dreaming about it until we drive to it. 🙂 xoxo
