Winter Wanes

Winter came down to our home one night?Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow, And we, we were children once again. ~Bill Morgan, Jr.

Where does the white go when the snow melts? ~Author Unknown

One kind word can warm three winter months.  ~Japanese Proverb

Antisthenes says that in a certain faraway land the cold is so intense that words freeze as soon as they are uttered, and after some time then thaw and become audible, so that words spoken in winter go unheard until the next summer.  ~Plutarch, Moralia

One of my current pet theories is that the winter is a kind of evangelist, more subtle than Billy Graham, of course, but of the same stuff.  ~Shirley Ann Grau

The more it goes The more it goes on snowing.

And nobody knows How cold my toes How cold my toes Are growing.

The more it snows The more it goes The more it goes On snowing.

And nobody knows How cold my toes How cold my toes Are growing.

A.A. Milne

Sled Dog
By Sonja Bouchard

I run and run until I get tired.
I frolic in the snow until there is no more.
I’m quick, and
I’m slick.
I am the fast sled dog.
