shades of gray

stark, cloudy, bleak, no, not bleak, just gray
what is there to say
the water looks dark, cold and uninviting
no need to test it with my toe
by the time I walk across the snow-covered grounds
my feet and toes will no longer be cozy warm
I think I will pass, and not go near the water’s edge
that is something I can do on another day
meanwhile I will view from afar
the far away shoreline, before
I head back, following the path that I’ve taken
back to the truck.
Not really exciting, but refreshing, yes.
A winter’s day, shown in shades of gray

I found some colour to brighten the gray
I will come back another day
We are heading into a storm
for winter, this is the norm
after all this is Canada eh!



Start your week with a positive vibe. Let it carry through giving you a wonderful week.


Snow is in the forecast, starting early evening, and, on into the night and most of tomorrow. For everyone wanting a white Christmas, looks like you just might get your wish.
I loved this little orange tree. Every year I would prune it back and bring it inside so it could survive our Canadian winters. Circumstances were that it grew very big, and we simply were unable to bring it back in.
