I remember
Past winter
Of old,
There was light
Shining warmth
In the cold.
I recall spring’s
Late blanket
White bold,
Under lamps’
Glow of soft
Molten gold.

Thank you, Tina! It is a bit Narnia’ish, isn’t it? And it was a magical morning — this photo had no filter, no adjustments. This was the magical light of the day.

You make winter look so beautiful. Alas, that’s not the sort of winter we get here… with roaring ice-laden winds, too mean to release more than a pellet of snow

It is not always so beautiful here, either … but it can be, sometimes, as it had been on that sudden April morning snowstorm (in 2018). That said, ice-laden wind do no sound like much fun … 😉

Nah, it’s not. It gets into every crack and crevice. Although living in a place built way back in the last Ice Age (mini-Ice Age, that is, in 1603) you wouldn’t expect much leakage. We’ll put it down to a shrinkage of everything over the years. 🙂

Wow! This is an OLD place to live in!!! I can just imagine the conversation with souls-of-old when they stop by for a visit, to get warm from the cold …

Someone sometimes gets into my bed. Cold. Wouldn’t mind so much if they were warm 🙂 Never speaks though.

Not much to say, perhaps, other than to ‘state’ the obvious – that they are cold and need to get warm … 😉
