Monday Photo Shoot/ OSI - Winter's Farewell
.JPG)
Farewell to Winter
Farewell to the white blanket
that covered my active mind in quiet
serenity
Farewell to the joy of Christmas
that sprinkled colors with loving family
sentiment
Farewell to another year gone by
that opened our eyes to power's greed and
hope
Farewell to the cosy wood stove
that wrapped me completely in its warming
peace
Farewell to the billowing storms
That made trees shimmy in rhythmic
delight
Farewell to the melting snow
that strewed diamonds on branches
glistening

In this case, all your farewells will come back and say hello soon enough.
I enjoyed the read and the photos, especially with the snow on that beautiful yellow flower!
You have captured the spirit. We are glad but hate to see winter go and welcome spring.

Yes, farwell winter! I am ready for spring. but your words are purty.

Dear Tammy--
Beautiful photos--and I really liked your respectful, loving farewell to winter and all the joy it brings! Couldn't have any of the rest of it without winter, eh!
Love to you!
My dear Tammy, you sure know how to say what must be said. Life is full of farewells and tears. I think it's just how you look at it.
I love you my brave friend. You are thought of every night in my prayers.
Lovely poem!!

The second shot is perfect for this week's theme! awesome.
I feel so glad you visited and inspired me to visit you. Your poem so lovingly honors the passing season! And lovely images too~
Two beautiful photographs. I especially like the second and the poetic words that accompany them.
Very nice..I'm sad when winter bids me farewell..PS - Your play list made it really hard to leave :) I'd never heard these songs before.
A very thoughtful poetic summation of the year and the times!
Absolutely perfect Tammy! This is a beautifully written farewell to the season of snow. Bring on spring...
Hugs, G
This read almost like a chant or prayer, Tammy. I love the soft rhythms and perhaps it made me reflect that I will miss those things about winter too.

Today is the first day of spring.
That's what they said on our TV.
I remember those things you tell.
Winter is gone, now green you'll see.
Childhood memories of cold and snow,
Nebraska's cold, it's like you said.
Now Texas winter's not so bad,
I shed my shovel and my sled.

Re you post for Saturday. My mother told me many times that I would not find a nice girl (wife to be) in a bar.
The second time around I found the love of my life, like in your future.

Such pretty photos, and an awesome poem. You captured so many feelings.
Lovely words and photos!
Tammy...
Sign... so gorgeous. The perfect pictures of winter kissing spring good morning. Well done.
Hugs, Carly
