“One must have a mind of winter …” Hiking with my love past frozen kettle ponds and holly tree groves near Plymouth, MA. Tree silhouettes in January will always be among my favorite things. #poetry #poem #writing #hiking #nature

Bundled up with my love on the shore of frozen kettle pond dusted with snow.

Sun shining through a bright green grove of American Holly trees.

Frozen kettle pond glowing under a white January sun behind skeletal trees.

My daughters and grandchildren visited my fave childhood haunt, the recently restored Carnegie Library in Palestine, Texas. We donated three copies of my wife’s children’s book. Our beloved “CiCi” would love knowing she is now part of this beautiful library! #booksky #library #reading #books #poetry
