winter winds
I wonder how many storms
the spruce tree has known

Winter Basket
As you can see, the basket Karl created with spruce tree branches that were pruned, and decorations from past years, is now outside. The snow today gives the arrangement new life. You can see snow on the wood path Karl built years ago, and gardens where lilies and other plants grow. Our red poinsettia in the house, from Mentink’s Piggly Wiggly in town, is still beautiful. Our Christmas cactus has many buds and is on the table with the poinsettia. I think we will rename the cactus – February cactus? Karl took the photo this afternoon.
A quiet Saturday. Karl is an engineer and is working on a project. I have been reading for hours today in my study.

“This is the day”
and I rejoice
light snow on the garage roof
and the brick path
warm water to wash
breakfast dishes
music and books

This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118: 24
A new poem to follow my earlier post, Bloganuary prompt for January 15, 2022.

I take my time
and read the poetry
of the garage light

sun on a page
of poetry
and then light

Winter begins
today is the shortest
day of light
Oostburg, Wisconsin
Midwest, USA
Northern Hemisphere
And tomorrow
I will begin to watch
the days grow longer
Write new poems
about the light
