Cold?

It is a bitter cold time in our part of the world. The temperature has not risen above -5C for twelve days, which is unusual. Though today was sunny it was especially bitter: -11C with a brisk wind blowing.

I visited our local organic farm to pick up a friends’ biweekly winter vegetable box. It was not too cold to prevent these shaggy cattle from interrupting their play to investigate my arrival.

Early Light

Our neighbours’ tree reaches out to embrace the cold, crystalline light of a recent dawn. One more bitter cold night endured, one more sunny, chilly day to bask in.

Each day brings spring one day closer.
