Cold


When the bold branches
Bid farewell to rainbow leaves -
Welcome wool sweaters.
~B. Cybrill


Winter either bites with its teeth or lashes with its tail. ~Proverb




Time, time, time, see what's become of me
While I looked around
For my possibilities
I was so hard to please
But look around, leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Look around, leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground...
Simon and Garfunkel

Winter has its joys and scenery but I don't like feeling cold.

Lovely! We had -27 celsius this morning. It almost feels too cold even if I'm used to it.

Ginny said...

Wonderful images!!!!! And I adore your header, you are making me shiver. I have always loved S&G and was getting their records as a teenager. The first song of theirs I heard was Sounds Of Silence, which also fits in very well with COLD!

Mom loves S&G...BUT she has to keep telling folks that she was 21 when their song Cecilia hit the air waves. MOL MOL MOL

Hugs madi and mom
