Winter’s Visit

Winter paid a pretty visit yesterday and today.

The old man passed us completely last year, refusing even once to shake out his white powder.

By last night we had six inches and a school cancellation, the patio furniture huddled out back. This morning, walks to shovel and a hill to sled.

The forecast promises more Thursday into Friday. The youngest threatens to wake the oldest with a frosty ball of ice, hoping to be first on the slopes.

I’ll be glad to report to work.
