Belties


Away in a manger
two Belties*
ate hay 
. . .


*These are Belted Galloways, otherwise known as Belties, or as Oreo Cows.
They live locally
and we love them.

This:
to stop you in your tracks
and 
remind you of:



Birches

by Robert Frost

When I see birches bend to left and right
Across the lines of straighter darker trees,
I like to think some boy's been swinging them.
But swinging doesn't bend them down to stay
As ice-storms do. Often you must have seen them
Loaded with ice a sunny winter morning
After a rain. . . 

(partial poem. . .)

Winter Vignettes


Here's that red wheelbarrow again
now toting ice

and



two red kayaks
hunkered down

and


old woodpiles
slumbering

and


pond
glazed with ice

and


brook a-gurgling

ahhhh
