Oh,but can you just imagine stepping out of a cabin,
Warm from a wood stove to grab more wood
Cut from downed trees in your woods?
You pause for a moment to watch the snow falling
Listen to the whisper of flakes falling
Gently landing on the tin roof.
Only in the woods is it quiet enough
To hear snowflakes flakes land.
Back inside you throw wood into the stove
Then stand with back to stove
To warm yourself once again
And watch the snow gather at your window.

Thanks for posting. I've definitely gained an appreciation for the mountains since I moved to the Gatlinburg area six months ago. My favorite is waking up and looking out the window at the beautiful view. It really helps me appreciate the World.
I love this, Cousin. So evocative!
Write on!
