Oh magical the winter night! Illusory this stretch
Of unimaginable grays; so shadowy a sketch
Only the fading inks of spirit artistry can etch.
Lines from “Winter Night”

DeleteWe awoke not to snow dressing the trees but a white coating of ice. Is that called rime? It's all melted now as our temps exceed 32.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what that is Marcia but it sounds gorgeous! I remember us driving south after an ice storm and all the trees looked like they had crystal branches. Nature surely is marvelous!
