Purple party hats prickle
with shiny, white icicles.

Here is one happy snow monster:

Loved the snow monster photo and your lovely poem. The colour of an hyacinth is just lovely isn’t it?

Yes, thank you, Charlotte. A hyacinth is fragrant, sturdy and beautiful, too. That’s quite a trick.

Brenda, I can picture fairies gliding down stems and leaves with slippery snow helping them go quickly. The child in snow suit, “snow monster,” will be happy tromping through snow. Your warm, nourishing soup will bring the heat back into their bodies from head to tips of fingers and toes. ❤

What a gorgeous photo – but BOOOOO winter!
I love the idea in the poem that it’s just a fling. Very short lived -right? Quick selfie with the snow and we’re done?
