SNOWED
IN
Announced by all
the trumpets of the sky, arrives the snow,
the whited
air hides hills and woods, and veils all in its fanciful
architecture. All
friends shut out, all inhabitants snowed in sitting
around
a radiant fireplace, enclosed in a tumultuous privacy of storm.

SNOWY REMEMBRANCE
The
air is chilled, a biting wind blows among the streets, the whole town
lies in white array beneath a darkening dusk shadowed sky. The tang of
frost is sharp and clear, the people are about their daily chores with
a jollity and zest, homestead lights glimmer with a friendly glow, and
the snow summons the laughter of children.

THE STILLNESS OF WINTER
The
cold was uplifting, the snow beautiful. It fell and fell, lacing day
and night together, making everything quieter, making a profound
stillness so that winter seemed to partake of nature in a way no other
season did, hushed, solemn, tranquil.

STRAW
HAT SNACK
Although it is not feeding time,
These horses have a knack
Of finding a tasty in between meal,
A yummy straw hat snack.
It’s not their usual feeding place,
And off the beaten track,
Just over the fence within easy reach
Is an afternoon straw hat snack.

SUGAR SHACK
Spring is coming,
February goes,
It’s maple sugar time,
Boil the sap, make the
syrup,
It really is sublime.
Boil it more, the syrup’s
thicker,
So yummy and so sweet,
Cool it, now it’s maple
sugar,
So wonderful to eat!

SUGARBUSH FARM
Coming
to the farm in March in sugaring time, carrying the pails of sap,
sixteen-quart buckets, dangling from each end of a wooden yoke that lay
across the shoulders, and emptying them into a vat in the saphouse
where fire burned day and night for a week, and horse and wagons
carrying tanks of the nectar to the sugar shack here on the Sugrabush
Farm.

TAPPING
THE MAPLES
Cans
hang from the trees, a horse harness jingles in the woods, the
gathering of the spring syrup has begun. The smell of pleasant
sweetness wafts through the air. A fire is roaring, boiling the sap
fresh from the maples while grey, wispy smoke billows towards the sky.
The annual harvest is underway at the Sugar Shack.

TO WINTER
O Winter! bar thine
adamantine doors,
The north is thine. There
hast thou built thy dark,
Deep founded habitation.
Shake not thy roofs
Nor bend thy pillars with
thine iron car.
He hears me not, but o’er
the yawning deep
Rides heavy. His storms
are unchain’d, sheathed
In ribbed steel. I dare
not lift mine eyes,
For he hath rear’d his
scepter o’er the world.

TRANQUIL WINTER DAYS
A
rustic scene, a serene game played on a frozen backyard pond, halcyon
days, a reflection of placid sedate state of mind, the innocence of
joyful youth passing amicable hours on these tranquil winter days.

VISIT ON A WINTER'S DAY
The
winter freezes the land and clothes the earth in silence, a blustery
breeze drifts across a white clad landscape. A neighbour braves the
harsh elements as winter gives a brief respite lightening his cares,
the faithful horse drawing its sleigh so its bundled up passenger can
make a visit on a winter’s day.

WAITING
FOR THE SCHOOL BUS
Happily going back to school,
Without any muss or fuss,
Cheerfully watching the falling snow,
Waiting for the school bus.
The air is crisp, the snow is blowing,
This really is a plus,
For all the children who love the winter,
While waiting for the school bus.

WARMING
UP BY A WINTER FIRE
The
children gather round the outdoor fire, drawn by the light and warmth.
Flames lick the wood, crackling sparks dance under a winter's eve. The
crisp, cold air draws intricate art on windows, while a silent snowfall
covers the boughs in white array. Soon the children will return to
hearth and home after warming up by a winter fire.

WATERS OF WINTER
The
air is silent save where stirs a murmuring breeze. Wide, sparkling snow
vestured fields lie beneath a shadowed sky. A glistening splendour
crowns the woods, the tang of frost is sharp and clear. Foamy white and
cold run the waters of winter, onward toward an inevitable plunge
leaving behind a hoarfrost over the virgin world in white array.

WAYFARING INTO WINTER
The
snow falls and falls, making everything quieter as it falls, in a way
no other season does, hushed, solemn. A stretch of white road lies
ahead, shining snow crystals are rainbowed by the sun, white fields are
stained with long, cool, blue shadows. This is the time to embark upon
a wayfaring into Winter, and enjoy every idle hour.

WELCOME WINTER HOME
On
the frosty hills the sombre pines croon a wintry tune, northern winds
blow over the frozen landscape wrapping nature in its frigid grip of
ice. Winter is the time for comfort, a time for a warming hearth, it is
the time for a welcoming home.

WHEN WINTER COMES
When
everyone was asleep the snow came flying,
In large white flakes falling
on the city brown,
Stealthily and perpetually settling and loosely
lying,
Hushing the latest traffic of the drowsy town.
All night
it fell, and when full inches seven,
It lay in the
depth of its uncompacted lightness,
The clouds blew off from a high and
frosty heaven,
The eye marveled, marvelled at the dazzling whiteness.

WHISPERING WATERS OF
WINTER
The
air is silent, a gentle breeze stirs among the trees. The world is in
white array, the skies silvery and fleeced. And o'er the whispering
waters winter silently creeps, its faint music ringing in wold and
dell, patiently waiting for the next frozen blast. But for now, respite
and calm, tranquility reigns above the whispering waters of winter.

WHISPERS OF WINTER
There
is a privacy about winter which no other season gives you. Only in the
winter can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savour
belonging to yourself. Winter, a lingering season, is a time to gather
golden moments, embark upon a sentimental journey, and enjoy every idle
hour. It is a time of silence, introspection and a time for listening
to the inner whispering of the soul.

WINTER AT THE OLD MILL
Boisterously
blows the wind over leafless bough, the waters are frozen, the spinning
wheel at the old mill stopped in its path. On the frosty hills the
somber pines croon a stirring song over the glimmering virgin snow
while the old mill bides its time until spring melts away its frozen
prison so that it may continue in its propitious course.

WINTER
DAWN
O’er the rolling hills made glad,
The morning comes in winter clad,
Oh, ‘tis a time most fit to see,
How beautiful the dawn can be!
Wide,
sparkling fields snow-vestured lie,
Beneath a blue, unshadowed sky,
A glistening splendour crowns the woods,
And bosky, whistling solitudes.

WINTER
DAYBREAK
The great North
Wind rattles the trees and shatters their twigs to splinters,
The sparkling quilt of snow knee deep paves the streets of
winter.
The
sun
dies out by
four
o'clock, the night sky quickly enters,
It creeps in with short, breathy
steps, that sombre, freezing winter.

WINTER DELIGHTS
The glittering snow on a
dazzling day,
The frigid cold of the nights,
A horse drawn sleigh ride, and a warming drink,
Make for winter delights.
The cold air brings exhiliaration,
The snow is sparkling and white,
Not a care in the world in an open sleigh ride,
Such wonderful winter delights.

WINTER DELIVERY
Early
winter morning, before the stars have left the skies, the winter
delivery begins, horse drawn across a frosted land, bringing fuel for
hearth and home. The
horses haul their heavy load over silvery and fleeced
ground, the tang of frost is sharp and clear in the crystal air,
homesteads awaiting anxiously for their winter delivery.

WINTER EDEN
Oh
the glory of a bright winter day, the beauty silent and unspoken, such
glory without a sound, the splendour of Winter Eden. You

Winter Eden.

WINTER ENCOUNTER
This
season, this winter of calm love and soulful snows brings a subtle
sweetness in the sun. The wind blows more boisterously, and each
succeeding day now grows longer. The fields are clad in white array
waiting for a secret kiss in this winter encounter from two
unsuspecting partners. In the quiet solitude, a silent tryst is made
for other winter days yet to come.

WINTER
EVENING SLEIGH RIDE
The air is crisp, the snow is falling,
It’s wonderful to be outside,
Gliding along over fresh white snow,
On a winter evening sleigh ride.

Through the pastoral countryside,
Elicits feelings of peace and calm,
On a winter evening sleigh ride.

FLIGHT
Something told the wild geese it was time to go,
Though the fields lay golden, something whispered, “snow.”
Something told the wild geese it was time to fly,
Autumn sun was on their wings, winter in their cry.

WINTER IN EMERYVILLE
The
snow falls and falls, making everything quieter, hushed, memories drift
on a blustery breeze, bringing with it the comfort of home, winter in
Emeryville. The

thought, their abundant summery wordage silenced, shining snow crystals
rainbowed by the sun, winter in Emeryville.
