Warm Winters

it's weird
because Vermont winters
are cold and harsh
but feel warm 
and welcoming
sitting together watching movies
and watching snow slowly drift to the ground in the morning
or in the moonlight when all is quiet 
it's dangerously wonderful
how the sparkling snow
and glittering ice layering the trees
disguises the piercing cold
and slippery roads
but to walk through the silent woods that could be mistaken
as a winter wonderland
or sit with your family
stuck inside on those snow days
makes everything okay

    Vermont has ways of making things that are harsh and scary beautiful – gorgeous, even!
    Icy roads surrounded by woods that look like they jumped out of a storybook.
    Icicles covered by a soft, white blanket dangle from each branch.
  • John Lewis's legacy

    How can we keep John Lewis's legacy alive?
    A good question that is, sadly, hard to answer.
    People all over the country mistreating others just because of the color of their skin or their culture.
  • Writers Block

    So many things to write about
    So many words to use
    So many ideas running through my mind
    yet none seem right
    But I don't have the confidence to ask for validation
    For an opinion
    My ideas are for me
    I don't like being judged
