Animal Tracks

Posted on December 15, 2016December 15, 2016 by Leonas Lines

Animal tracks in the snow
Morning light reveals

A nightime visitor

Footprints in the snow

Animal tracks in the snow

I wasn’t quite sure just who this visitor was so I checked online and matched the tracks to a Squirrrel. Quite interesting that they have 4 font toes and 5 back toes. 

Squirrel Footprints

Squirrel Footprint Art on Pinterest maybe I will get creative and give that a try! 😊

Fall Blizzard

Posted on December 14, 2016December 14, 2016 by Leonas Lines

Winter snowstorm Portland, OR image from Fox12  News
Weather frightful

Not a pretty sight

Snow falling 

Unexpected

People trapped in traffic

And kids stuck at school

Shadorma

Winter has returned with a vengeance here in the Pacific Northwest. Very unusual weather for us in the Willamette Valley.

December Rose

Posted on December 13, 2016December 13, 2016 by Leonas Lines

Yellow rosebud
Like a candle flame

Boldly burning in the cold

A vision of warmth

Til Spring shall come to touch 

That which is frozen in time

Gingerbread House
In a 

Gingerbread House

My life is oh so sweet

On Candy Cane Lane, where

Gumdrops

Stuck in gooey icing so Royal,

And dancing Sugarplums 

Everyday

Delight!

Happy #GingerbreadHouseDay

Dark rainy day
Rains wash away snow

Stop, Look, Listen

Posted on December 10, 2016December 11, 2016 by Leonas Lines

Time, shopping, Christmas season
Shoppers rush to, fro

So many places to go

Christ is coming soon
Christ is coming soon

Yet we’ve places to go

In a rush to, fro
In a rush to, fro

Take time Him to know

Christ is coming soon

Fall’s Reminder Notice

Posted on December 9, 2016December 9, 2016 by Leonas Lines

MEMO to Winter from Fall
Cold air pushed out

Melting snow turns to puddles

Fall tells Winter “Leave!”

Issues a reminder notice

“Winter begins December 21st”
