Breath so cold you can see it
Silence smothering it all
Sun reflecting is so bright
Hope for winter’s soon coming call
Grass reflecting bits of ice
Mornings will now take more care
Cloth layers, car defrosting
Must think about being prepared
Footsteps are easy to track
As outlines show to and fro
False sense of winter’s presence
Making everything seem like snow
Now is the time when day fades
Quickly night is returning
Sun rising as we embark
But swiftly will leave one yearning
But winter is coming soon
With all the holiday cheer
Thus, making time go by faster
Until we greet a brand-new year

The Ritual of Winter Challenge Winners

Beautiful picture of frost. We have frost in June, Summer ushes in the Christmas season.
I love this , Katz, it's like reading your mind's diary of frost! We had frost here in Florida Tuesday and Wednesday and then the grass turns brown- that's how we know it's winter lolol but I already spread my rye grass so the yards will be green in a few days 💚
