Kung Foo Roo and the Lady Roo
~*~
Nobody used the old incinerator anymore, so it was all the more inviting to a chicken or two. Deep in old ashes the creepers hid, till curious visitors came scratching…
Then it was peck, gulp, slide, repeat!
Such beauty! We were stunned to see this lovely Christmas Gift from Heaven and much-loved to receive it…
The animals on the other hand were not so enamored of this lovely, albeit cold, blanket that covered all their familiar turf…
Molly: “Whooooo… it’s slippery and COLD!!!”
Polly: “Not good for dibbling either!”
Topper: “You call this an improvement?”
~And finally, here’s the little Drama I promised~
Wishing you all a wonderful New Year! May you find many Blessings as it unfolds!


Winter Ephemera
I awoke today to find that Winter Fairies,
in celebration of the coldest night,
had danced upon my window’s glass.
Arcs and swirls in feathered tracks,
there spun upon cold panes,
the only evidence of their party.
