I heard January in the wind last night, tearing the last oak leaves from their branches and whining through the long needles of the White Pine. January seeped beneath the doorsill, leaving frost in its wake. It carved trails in the dunes of snow with its precise blades, leaving frigid, sculpted drifts behind. January set the house to moaning late last night, its bones cracking like an old man’s, offering only bone chilling cold to numb its pain. January sunshine, low and weak, carries little warmth. Early evenings send us scurrying home before the temperatures plummet into the starry ice of another winter night. January drives us in, settles us by the fire for books and conversation, demanding reflection of those too timid to brave its elements.

Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an incredibly long comment

well I’m not writing all that over again.
Anyway, just wanted to say wonderful blog!
Thank you for your kind words! Sorry, that something in cyberspace gobbled up your original post. I hate it when that happens 🙂
I am extremely impressed with your writing
skills and also with the layout on your blog. Is this a
paid theme or did you modify it yourself? Anyway keep up the excellent quality
writing, it is rare to see a nice blog like this one nowadays.
The layout is one of the free blogs WordPress offers. I love the picture! It looks like a magic forest! Thank you for stopping by.
After checking out a number of the blog posts on your web page, I seriously appreciate your technique of blogging.

Thank you very much for your kind comments! I have been experimenting with my blog – some posts of writing, some book reviews and the last few months I’ve done little nature essays of the months. I appreciate your taking the time to read my work. I will check out your website!
