“Just You Wait and See”
Wherever you look snow abounds covering all with pure innocence which for some bestows peacefulness. Well, count on more to be coming as cold and clouds have settled in ’til Spring offers a warm embrace… just you wait and see.
And when that warm embrace arrives to loosen the hold frost has taken the diversity of flora be it grass, leaf or wildflower will slowly, yet progressively enliven that time in your life… just you wait and see.
