Everywhere you turn, you hear of frozen pipes, cars in ditches from icy roads, and caution to get your animals inside from the frigid cold this winter. With all this in mind, I wrote a poem called Winter Blech.
Winter Blech!
Bare trees.
All gone dormant.
Plants reside in the basement,
under grow lights.
Bee hives are secured
for the winter
with mouse guards
at the entrance.
Time to settle in
for the long wait
’til we see Jonquils again.
As of today, January 23, 2024, Spring is only 56 days away! Now, don’t you feel better?

We can survive 56 days. Can’t we?
With a winter as mild as this, it doesn’t seem so bad!
