Wordless Wednesday – can spring be far behind?

March 6, 2013 By Talya Tate Boerner

Wordless Wednesday

O wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?
                                              – Percy Bysshe Shelley

Winter Blooms

February 17, 2013 By Talya Tate Boerner

Another week vanishes

without plan or purpose.
Winter creeps along muted, hazy,
sometimes dreary. Then crocus blooms
like a song I know by heart.
Soon it will be spring.

Hazy Shade of Winter, Simon & Garfunkel

I please myself with the graces of the winter scenery, and believe that we are as much touched by it as by the genial influences of summer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 – 1882)
