SNOWBOUND RONDELET

This stunning snow.
The power’s out, the phone as well.
This stunning snow –
darkened house, icicles aglow.
Each shovel-stroke a silver shell
as light’s transformed by winter’s spell,
this stunning snow.

darkened house, icicles aglow, felt cold, but I can imagine the peacefulness and beauty.

This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
