Happily Never After

Father Frost descends and nips The world with frosty fingertips, Nudging verdant green aside, Dressing all in brilliant white. .  Autumn colours kissed by cold Now sink beneath his frigid hold; Sleeping Beauties sigh farewell, For death will never kiss and tell.

Father Frost descends and nips

The world with frosty fingertips,

Nudging verdant green aside,

Dressing all in brilliant white.

. 

Autumn colours kissed by cold

Now sink beneath his frigid hold;

Sleeping Beauties sigh farewell,

For death will never kiss and tell.

      Hoarfrost tonight – chilly, but pretty and sparkly….

    Glad you are making the most out of the frost 🙂

      That’s not the half of it. Close to -30 tonight, with snow on the ground. *sigh* Winter is here to stay, I’m afraid. There was hoarfrost tonight, so I’m hoping to get some pretty pics in the morning. I need to remember to watch for the beautiful in it, and be careful to guard my attitude… 😉

      1. Gallivanta

        You did well with last winter’s ice and snow, so I have faith in you 🙂

      2. melodylowes

        (You think I just might make it through another??) 🙂

      3. Gallivanta

        Yep! Because when you feel frozen and despaired you can pop on over to my blog and be warmed by sunshine 🙂

        Nice! Sounds like a great prescription…

      5. Gallivanta

        It’s what our doctors call a ‘green’ prescription. Do you have those in your medical system? We do, we really do.

    Love this – but – not the cold 😉

    1. melodylowes

      Brrr! It’s been really cold the past few days – closer to normal for the weekend, I hear, so things are looking up!
