north wind blows eastward
heads bent, pole walkers chatter
gaggle of snow geese
This entered me mind while watching a group of pole walkers trudging along in the white shite storm. About 20, dare I write women, were bundled in Sorels, snow pants, parkas, scarves, toques and thermal gloves battling the elements. As I watched this chilled parade, warm and toasty from my home, I wondered what they were talking about. I’m sure the conversation wasn’t deep due to the elements. “what the hell Prudence, you said the temperature was balmy!”, and “we’re near my home, anyone for a wee nip of rum?” There is no doubt in my mind it continued along the same vein until they were safe in their own warm and toasty homes.
Well done ladies. You have my admiration.
Love the gaggle of snow geese….We have lots of snow and cold… Michelle
ReplyDeleteAs do we, swans and ducks are still swimming even in-35C temps. It must be the down ;)
