White bunny boots and wooly long johns printed turtle necks and socks that are long Turtles and mittens and quilted blue jeans Down coats and head lamps with lights to be seen Cars that plug in and bicycles in snow Snowmachine suits and doors that won't close Fifty below and the tires are square Bumping in ice fog just praying to get there Intrepid souls who smile and say "How are you doing and have a nice day!" Dogs in foam houses and horses in coats Heat lamps on chickens and warm mash for the goats Snow squeaking loudly with every step that you take Moose signs on roads warning to give them a brake Northern Lights dance in pinks, yellows and greens Japanese tourists to see the miracles they bring Hot tubs and ice cream and bonfires strong Dogs pulling the mushers along the mighty Yukon Wood smoke and barrel stoves and monitors on high Electric bills soaring beyond the clouds in the sky Blue tarps and duct tape and junk cars in the yard Praying that water lines don't freeze deep and hard Snow covered lumber from projects of old The value may be more than a pocket of gold. Ice creepers, snow melt, and nights that don't end Working all day and still no money to spend Children on sleds and in front of tv's Parents praying for summer and daylight reprieve Glamor and fashion lose to a need to stay warm It's a wonderful, great place I simply call home. aziza |

Aptly describes the winters of my childhood in North Dakota. Brought back fond memories. Joyce |
