“The Seasoned Land”
This planet — this Earth — because of its axial tilt, has “seasons.” Some of us are blessed to live at latitudes where they may experience the wonder and beauty of all four.
Thank you Doc!
Ha! Regarding my photos, RA — you may always assume theres’s no photoshopping ’cause I ain’t smart enough to get ‘er done!
I have made a snowman here in Atlanta. Once, when my children were very young. The raw material was gone the next day, and the snowman a couple days later. It was glorious.
Now you’re talkin’! Growing up in Pgh, my memories of winter were fun! Now that I’m older though, I’ll remember and take the Florida winters!
We live in the desert and we, too, have four seasons: Early-Summer, Summer, Late-Summer, and eight days of Winter-ish.
I know. I know. . . but still . . .
This is our first entire winter in Florida and I’m almost relieved it’s been mild up north so that I haven’t missed the neighborhood kids frolicking in a fresh foot of snow. They even made a snowman for me last year.
The desert has its own unique beauty even without the seasons. My dear aunt introduced me to it almost 20 years ago. I’ll never forget her remarking: ” Cathy. The desert’s alive!” She was right. I’m so grateful to her and miss her so.
This is lovely, Trink. A perfect last piece to read for the night. Thanks for posting it!
Thanks for this offering Trink, very nice!
