Winter Solace

Frost is on the pumpkin

And frost is on my nose

Winter will be coming

So the story goes.

Time to put away my tools

And stack wood for the fire

The garden will be waiting

When weather’s not so dire.

What to do while waiting

In my covers and my coats

There’s books to read and quilts to make

And dreams of pleasure boats.

I’d love that you would join me

On this journey through the cold

The time we spend together

Is more precious than pure gold.
