Answer to a Child’s Question
by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Do you ask what the birds say? The sparrow, the dove,
The linner and thrush say, “I love and I love!”
In the winter they’re silent — the wind is so strong;
What it says, I don’t know, but it sings a loud song.
But green leaves, and blossoms, and sunny warm weather,
And singing, and loving — all come back together.
But the lark is so brimful of gladness and love,
The green fields below him, the blue sky above,
That he sings, and he sings; and for ever sings he-
“I love my Love, and my Love loves me!”

Hi-de-ho, twas a fluffy snow. Not conducive for building snowmen but light for shoveling the driveway. The neighbors be safe from obnoxious traits… for now. I took a couple of cold rushed photos but unfortunately they turned out blue like you. Hopefully you’re feeling better now. I did have one photo that perhaps I’ll post sometime of the truck grill that if you have a great imagination you might see a snow angel. 🙂
