before the sun revealed the blue of sky
in the early morning light
which barely kissed her world
she pulled on tall wool socks
bundled in cashmere, mittens and hat
wandered into the woods
frost transformed the trees
into nearly glowing beings
tracks revealed
night time wanderers
in winter wonderland
winter has been mild in the NW corner of Montana
until last week
when we woke to a foot of new snow
winter if feeling quite sincere now
