Sunday Snapshot

I’m starting to suspect that the trees of Rochester will remain grey-brown twigs forever.

Sunday Snapshot

“Some day my Spring will come…”

I’m cheating somewhat. That photo is from last Sunday, and as of today the snow has all melted and the first snowdrops have started to bloom.

It finally feels like Spring is in the air, and Rochester sure could use it. It hasn’t risen much above 20 degrees since Christmas. Monday was so cold, it was actually making me angry.

Three Haisku* — The First Snow of Winter

Can’t find the snow brush
So Visa card scrapes the ice
Where’d I leave my gloves?

Bright white window glow
Wakens me early today
Snow sounds like quiet

Goodbye, autumn crunch
Crunch, crisp, rake, sweep — goodbye
Hello, winter slush
