February temps
beginning to feel
like January.
More winter?

Where is Spring?
We need the warmth.
We are in dire need
of a break.

Nothing dramatic
Just something to
warm the bones
and toes.

A much needed
dose of
vitamin C
for the soul.

Let us remain
forever grateful
for the stubborn
greenery

that persists
in the
face of
blizzards.

Evergreen,
trees and
holly in
December

Seasonal changes,
reminders that
now is not
forever.
