Guest Post: A Rictameter about Winter

Many thanks to Pat Murphy, an old friend and former neighbor (not the Pat from "Pat's Place") for today's guest rictameter. Pat is a fellow northerner who appreciates the season.

Winter

Is a respite

Under a white blanket.

We warm ourselves and we get strong.

There is a season when we can reach out

To meet the world with new vigor.

Everything will be fresh,

Until the next

Winter.
