| Taken two days ago. |
taken a photo
of the cotton ball trees
backed by brilliant blue sky
but I was too busy.
Choosing Saturdays to focus
on a week’s worth of home
and chores, I set them in motion
before the sun and wind
released frost clouds into the air
Hesitating long enough to
gasp and stand stock still
at the beautiful scene
outside my window and smile,
grateful for such a stunning view.
No mountains, rivers or parks -
not even the wide prairie -
just the amazing transformation
of the winter wonderland trees to
cotton ball trees in the sun.
“It is not enough to be busy; so are the ants.
The question is: What are we busy about?”
~ Henry David Thoreau
