The Haiku
Winter cold creeps in
Small animals scampering
Stocking their larder
The Prose
Activities picked up at Autumn's end. The impending cold imposed
hibernation tendencies. Living creatures snugly close to each other.
Fun for kids outside. Parents to catch up on tinkering in the house.
Never a dull moment even though snowing. The cold was not a deterrent

Both worked really well!
ReplyDeleteWe learn to live with what the weather brings.
ReplyDeleteNicely done.
Very nice, they both paint lovely images to me.
ReplyDeleteThe cold and stupid snow does have its perks I suppose
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteGive me the sun any day, but I guess we have to put up with the snow sometime.
ReplyDeleteA great read and write.
I was thinking about the poor critters outside - I watch them everyday yet they never complain :)
ReplyDeleteEverything is so clean and beautiful in the fresh snow.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly picks up with the approach of the snow -- and that cold!
ReplyDeleteThe snow looks beautiful, but I think I'll take a sunny day..
ReplyDeleteEvery season has a reason to be happy!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a busy season for nature and for humans! Enjoyed your haiku and your prose!
ReplyDeleteSun beats snow, but you can still get things done
ReplyDeleteI think for kids snow is just fun.. being slightly older it seems to be in the way :-)
