…when one hopefully places Mrs. Thaw in the kitchen altar a few days ago, and this is what arrives…

But Mrs. Thaw was only temporarily diverted, it would seem, for today, the sun is shining and the snow is dripping off the eaves. Soon our snow will be swept away by the warming air and the bright beams slanting down. The days may ease a bit. 

And a little more ease would be most welcome. I am wishing that some will head your way, as well, with every swish of Mrs. Thaw’s broom.

P.S. And edited to add…this “one” could only smile after the power came back on and the possibility of a hot bath became reality again.

Why so forlorn? You have a sprightly sparrow atop your head, when you could have snow…

…and just around the corner of the house, and in the nearby hedgerow, the first crocus are blooming…

 

Just below and all around the stump on which you sit, the tiny Birdseye Speedwell are spilling the sky at your feet…and surely you have heard the geese more often in the larger sky above you?
