Winter in the Garden
Winter - a time when all of nature is at peace
~ Simple Abundance ~

Winter picture of pond, Pine trees and creek bed.

 Winter Blanket
by Ada L. Wine
The snow is like a blanket that
God spreads across the land,
Where wheat and oats and barley sleep,
Awaiting God's command.

It covers all the pasture fields,
And hides the grasses brown:
It gives the bare, gray willow tree
A clinging, wooly gown.

It wraps around a fencepost tall,
And covers up its head,
Then drifts along the meadow banks
To tuck the creek in bed.
"Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress."
~ Charles Dickens (1812-1870) ~ 

Winter at the pond.

A few insulators and a snow covered Clematis.

 Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things,
but look what happens when they stick together.

Snowy Surprise... 
Sometimes the snow falls when I'm sleeping, 
I'm so surprised when I awake. 
I look out at the world around me, 
It looks like a frosted birthday cake!

Mud insulators with a hat of snow.
