Awake, Thou Wintry Earth

No matter how long the winter, 

spring is sure to follow"

~Proverb

It has been the longest winter in history 

for all of us in North Dakota. 

We dodged a major winter storm yesterday. 

Some areas received 11" of snow. 

We ended up with about an inch. 

The snow was very pretty this morning.

I captured this photo in our backyard 

here at A Primitive Place. 

I love the contrast 

of winter and spring in this photo.

 

"And spring arose on the garden fair, like the spirit of love felt everywhere; 

And each flower and herb on earth's dark breast rose from the dreams 

of its wintry rest." 

~Percy Bysshe Shelley
