What Winter Means To Me.

Cold, frosty mornings

Warm breath visible in the air.

Spider’s webs, shimmering

Tiny diamonds strung along silk.

Jack Frost patterns on windows

Creating a magical fantasy world.

An open fire, burning in the hearth

Sharing its warmth with all.

Chestnuts roasting, toasted marshmallows

Casseroles and apple pies.

The excitement of snowfall

Delicate flakes, dancing their way down.

Children out playing, building snowmen

Making snow Angels.

Sledges, pulled along by parents

Laden with children.

Whizzing down the slopes

Falling off, and back up again.

Snowballs, delighting the children

When they score a direct hit.

The bird table host to many varieties

From tiny Sparrows to Wood Pigeons.

Nets of peanuts, wild bird seed

Giant fat balls, keeping them fed until spring.

Christmas, giving us something

To look forward to, a family time.

This is what winter means to me.
