Quote:
When Winter first begins to bite
When stones crack in the frosty night
When pools are black and trees are bare
'tis evil in the wild to fare.

The cold will close in soon.
What Tolkienish thing will you do as winter envlelops you?
We will keep a fire going; there will be books to vurl up with; but in the evenings, we will walk under the stars. I love the moon-cast shadow of the bare branches on the ground. Because the moon is higher and the branches are bare, the moonlight is brighter and it draws me onward; if I can wrap in a cloak against the cold, perhaps I will be outside long enough to hear an owl, or even the faroff howl of the coyotes in the forest.
