a winter love story

Every winter,

When the great Sun has turned his face away,

The Earth goes down into a vale of grief,

And fasts, and weeps, and shrouds herself in sables,

Leaving her wedding-garlands to decay -

Then leaps in spring to his returning kisses.

~Charles Kingsley

winter white, winter light

the trees and skies have been especially beautiful lately on the farm
dusty, glittering branches and mottled clouds in soft colors
i find that i am strangely comforted by this winter palette

the weather outside is frightful

I had intended on simply posting a nice Happy Halloween message with my friend Jack

however...

we awoke this Halloween to a beautiful, yet frightful sight

our first snowfall

despite the white flurries - it does have an eery kind of look outside in keeping with Halloween

the gloomy grey-blue sky reminds me of the

Christopher Lee Dracula movies

FROM OUR NECK O' WOODS TO YOURS

WE WISH YOU A HAPPY HALLOWEEN
