Winter's Preserves

The winter blast did wane.
As the New Year welcomed the sun,
and the Northern Brute did sleep.
Making us windless all the day long.
The weaver’s web gleamed with frost,
preserving dreams with each passing star,
and with the blushing beams of day,
hope for Spring is cradled.

This year down here in south Texas, it has been the wind on the colder days that really made is feel very frigid, at least to us or me. Though I do know those winter days when the sun comes out and the winds subside that dreams of spring intensify. Nice one Cherrie.

Right before Christmas we had a windchill of -23 & 40 mph winds and the last 10 days have been beautiful. Ya never know what nature holds.

I think we hit 16 two nights in a row during that same cold snap.

Yes that's cold for you all. My son lives in Florida it was in the 30s for them and the entire State thought they would die from the cold.

We got hit with a winter blast a few years back, as I am sure you did too and had 5 degree weather for about 4 days and 11 inches of snow. All of the plumbing in my house basically exploded, it was a huge mess and definitely something we weren't ready for. That combined with power outages every 45 minutes, it was crazy but...we survived.

Yes nothing a warm fireplace can't fix.
