But the project was truly a labor of love, and had its own challenges -- mostly, charting a poem or saying that would fit into the mitten graph and make sense. Although it's hard to see in the photo, these read:
Through winter storms'
bluster and blowing snow
drifts piled mountain-high
to touch the ice-blue heavens
true friends bring us
the warmth of blazing hearth,
outstretched hands and laughter.
(My friend's name and birthdate)
On another note, the snow is still thick on the ground. I slid off the icy roads yesterday (no damage, no worries, just a little adrenaline rush). But spring is just around the corner.
How do I know?
That's how.
So festive, so cheerful.
And yet, so inciting violence.
Happy thoughts of spring.
