Frosty Morn'

After waking to snow

on the ground yesterday,

we awoke to a frosty morning.

While the snow is long gone,

Jack Frost had

kissed the ground in the night.

A bit of fog remained,

burning off shortly after

I took this picture.

I love my street.

Hundreds of pine trees

stand at full attention,

waiting to greet me when I awake

and to silently wish me sweet dreams

before I fall asleep.

It may not be pretty to you today

but I love the

unpredictability of the weather

this time of year

here in good ole' Minnesota.

I love the birds singing,

the smell of spring in the air

and knowing the trees

and flowers

are soon going to grace us with their

beauty.

It just adds a spring to my step.

Take time to enjoy

whatever gifts nature

offers you on

this glorious day.
