"We wrote it on our papers
in round big shapes,
Jan., 1928.

The snow outside
glittered like mica-shavings
in the Alberta sunshine."

from A Seed of History
Margaret Avison
 
 
"The country of innocence is
a mistake of nature. The white
Geometry of winter leaves no margin
For error, no relic in the snow."
 
from The Geometry of Winter
 R.A.D. Ford
 
 
"NOT to forget the sullen, grey-cloaked sky
With red along its western hem
Not to forget brown leaves blown down a slope
and all my thoughts pursuing them!"
 
                     from Song to Myself
                          Dorothy Livesay
 
 
"Our best days are now a winter sky
White with coruscations of the clouds,
A mirror of the logos, flared
And cracked across our lives."
   
from Soliloquy to Absent Friends
D.G. Jones

Lovely colouring in the last image Guy, with the leaves and the tree branches.

Guy, while you are getting snow, we are having lizard weather here in Tucson, and I had my first oriole show up in the yard today! Thank you for all the comments you have left on my blog!

P.S. I like the first quote about the mica shavings!

Hi Kathie

Yes it is snowing again today and -13 C right now we have a ways to go before lizard weather and it will be sans lizards.

I am very happy you liked the quote.
