Loved by Motorists; Feared by Mailboxes

Well, I went from a warm weather picture to a cold weather picture. It is rather cold here, but we don’t get the snow that we got in Ohio. This is from a photo I took when we lived in Martinsburg in a barn owned by dear friends. It was our first winter in Ohio. It was a doozy! Come to find out there are doozies almost every year. LOL!

Acrylics on 8×10 stretched canvas.


In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign.
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ …


-- Christina Rossetti (In The Bleak Midwinter)
