drifting along

February, I will love you if it kills me.

Love the snow and the cold and the grey and the ice and even the slippery. Love the shortness of days that creep towards longer, bumping into obstacles, often. Love the bare and the stark, and the black silhouette of web and lace against a sky of no color.

The tall, tawny grasses peeking out from beneath their white blanket, bending in the wind that blows through them. The stillness of an evening filled with gently falling snow, giant cotton ball flakes in no hurry to reach their destination. The night with no wind, just me and the sky and all this white.

I will love the blizzard in its rage, all furious and frenzied, knocking at my door, let me in, in, in. Love the snow caps and the drifts, the boots and the shovels. And I will embrace these muted tones of grey on white, black on blue, beige on beige.

Because I know that beneath you, February, spring lies in wait. I like to picture her there, smiling in her dress of green, getting ready for the party.

Flower seeds round her neck, roots as her hair, warmth as her bracelet.

Oh! What a beautiful image!! I can see it as a painting! <3

A perfectly painted picture; you do amaze me.

I know what you mean. I am in AZ right now and am not looking forward to Saturday when we return to snow and ice. February is indeed hard to love.

The fact that Feb is the shortest month just makes it that much easier to love.

Anyone else get goosebumps?

“Flower seeds round her neck, roots as her hair, warmth as her bracelet.”

Amazing…

Lovely, just lovely!:)

Love your opening line! I hate to rub it in but it’s actually sunny here with us today, quite a turnaround from the horrible grey drab days we’ve been having. Here’s to Spring!

Just what I needed to hear after we had a whopper of a storm last night.

wow what beautiful words with a beautiful image. You write so effortlessly *sigh*. What a lovely post and the beauty found in winter…love ♥

What a beautiful image of spring! If I could paint, I would paint her just as you described!

Simply beautiful…:-)!
Gasp…!!!

Kelly, this is absolutely gorgeous. The writing took my breath away… and I HATE February. Made me reconsider… for a moment, the subtle pleasures of the wait, the snow, the anticipation of spring.

Indeed, the month of transition can be a hard one to love. But, I did love your imagery!

Ooohhhh that last line, really sticks with you , love it

i understand your feelings .. but there is so much to look forward to..the branches in your photo know!!

I love that idea – loving such a dull month cause beautiful spring is coming. I love spring too, my favorite time of year. Thank you for your beautiful words.

Amazing combo of words and photo, love it. have a good weekend

Oh I needed to hear these words today:) It’s the shortest month, and yet it always seems to be soooo long for me!
