18 Jan, 2013

 

lots of snow on the ground but its not snowing any more, temperature appx zero! i expect it will freeze over night which is not nice.

I just opened the kitchen door - it's so quiet outside. almost the same here - no snow and cold.

thanks linda! how's the painting going? i was painting a wall today ~ but not the clever type of painting you do.

Very good Sticki! I do love the "hush" with snow on the ground . . . particularly when you come home late in the evening and (with luck) can see the starry sky.

:))) nice one.

See the chilly caterpilly,
camouflaged in snow,
He eats the crystalicy plants,
to make his body grow.
Getting to the pupa stage
he spins an ice cocoon
and sleeps the night all wrapped up tight
under a yellow moon.
As the day breaks with the frost
he breaks out from his case,
and turns into the great ice moth
flying off at a pace.
The great ice moth has ne'r been seen
by anyone around
But it's there and look with care
at crystal patterns found. (on the windows!)

Love it, Stickie!

19 Jan, 2013
