Enough snow for a snowman! Carrot nose, cranberry eyeballs.
Morning rain turned to snow, flakes so large you could drown.
Wind, cold. Numbers like "9", "40", units like "degrees" and "mph".
Fires going, steady burn a close circle of heat.
Fingers, nose chill away.
Settle to Christmas. Puzzles, food, warmth, laughter of my kids.
Clean out the fridge, present to chickens; pie, potato, eggplant.
"Merry Christmas Yoko, Merry Christmas John." repeat.
Nests in the sunroom tree.
Quilts on the couch.
Let's be.
