Frozen world!

With cup in hand I stand looking out my window, passing from warmth to a frozen world of white and gray.  Winter has locked the world as we know it away.  But, yet there is life about;  Chickadees, Redpolls and Nuthatch in flight from pine to feed.  Cottontail tracks giving clue to their presense during the night and a Raven calls some distance away.  Though the north is held prisoner by frost and cold, life is all about.  Stand still for but a moment and witness the Aah of Mother Nature...
