Growing with gratitude for life's challenges

A silent invader, the snow
creeps in overnight, transforms

No weapons of war, just a soft
blanketing pronouncing victory

Invasive and inevitable, we sigh acceptance
and still the river flows, for now.

(For Nancy Merrill’s A Photo a Week Challenge: In My Neighbourhood.)

LOVE IT! Might be a bit jealous that mine didn’t really stick. Hope it’s a sign! 😁

  Thanks. We’ve had more since – even the roads are white. I heard that they are calling it a Snowller Coaster this year.
