naked branches
crystal ribbon cover
decorate trees spontaneous
lovely
~~
crunching
snowflakes falling
leaving markers behind
swirling softly all around me
walking
~~
echoes
muffled noises
distance voices laughing
busy designing ice sculptures
snowmen
~~
hearty
squirrels chasing
birds scratching for tidbits
rabbit scampering across yard
survive
~~
freezing
northeast air mass
blanket of white appear
countryside into wonderland
winter
