A Tree in Winter
Winter Fun
Childhood memories of growing up in the country….ice skating on the river behind our house and sledding down hills. 🙂
Christmas Memories
When I was young Yule Logs were popular at Christmas time. They were made from a chunk of a white birch tree which had three holes drilled in the center where three red candles were placed and then were decorated with some evergreen sprigs and holly berries. My family never had one, but I always wanted one and every Christmas I hoped I would be able to make one myself as we had birch trees in the woods behind our house. It was a childhood dream that never manifested however and so to this day I still think of making one.
Maybe this year I will 🙂

Upon thinking about this week’s Haiku Horizon Challenge–Week 49–Prompt: Play , the weather inspired me to write this Haiku as it seems Spring is playing around with Winter here in our part of the country. The last few days we have had unseasonably warm weather in Portland, Oregon. The temps have been in the mid sixties and the air has had a springtime feel to it. The higher elevations are receiving even warmer weather! The temps have been 68-70 degrees near Mt. Hood! We know it’s too early for Winter to leave us but it seems Spring is trying to come back early! I am definitely not complaining! 🙂
