    Snow - Anne Sexton

    Filed under: Poetry — kristen @ 8:44 am

    Snow,
    blessed snow,
    comes out of the sky
    like bleached flies.
    The ground is no longer naked.
    The ground has on its clothes.
    The trees poke out of sheets

    There is hope.
    There is hope everywhere.
    I bite it.

    It’s snowing in Granby

    Filed under: Home / Place — kristen @ 12:55 pm

    We got about 6 inches of snow overnight and it’s still snowing. I took the dogs for a snowshoe hike this morning through the rolling hills of Granby Ranch. I-*saw an interesting tree ahead and decided to take photos of my perspective as-*I walked closer.
