Stating The Obvious
It’s much easier
to bear this frigid weather
when we’re bathed in warm sunlight.

Problematic
Our minds are as good
at causing problems as they
are at solving them.

Pillow Talk
Moonlight kisses
partially frozen pond…
I smile and say goodnight.

A Young Visitor
That small deer came
up to the house and Knox
bounded out to greet him…
Sadly, his mother
wouldn’t let him stay.

As Evening Comes
No deep thoughts
or profound revelations,
just the simple pleasure
of watching the steady
fall of snow.

Joy On The Fly
They came without my asking,
those small winged creatures,
bringing comfort, removing gloom.

And The First Month’s Only Half Over
When I chose “open”
as my guiding word for 2024,
I didn’t think the universe
would respond with

the loss of heat,
and the need to quarantine.
It looks like what my choice opened
was a great big can of worms.

Good Friends, Good Fortune

are really good when
I got mixed up and arrived
a week early for our visit.
Instead of greeting me
with open mouths, they
welcomed me with laughter
and wide open arms.

Shivers
The cold kiss of frost
carried no delight on that
frigid winter morn.
