Haikus Dec 2013

Dec 1, 2013
Fiery red sunrise,
Road clear, shoulders snow covered,
Warmer than before.

Dec 2, 2013
Eerie predawn walk,
Roadway is slick underfoot,
A dusting of snow.

Dec. 5, 2013
Deer crossing the road,
Deer in the woods nearby us,
Deer in our back field.

Dec 8, 2013
Roadway is icy,
Overnight storm left dusting,
Sun shining for now.

Jet flying over,
Nell didn't notice, to herd,
Thank goodness for that!

Dec 10, 2013
The predawn darkness,
earlier every morning,
hurry up solstice!

Dec 12, 2013
Crisp and cold morning,
The snow crunching underfoot,
Tears running down cheeks.

Just Rusty and I,
Nell gone to sheep herding school,
Much calmer walking.

Dec 14, 2013
Snow coming steady,
Inch or so already here,
Winter wonder land.

Dec 16, 2013
 Wading through the snow,
Bank of clouds hiding sunrise,
Bitter cold today.

Dec 18, 2013
Last present wrapped now,
Tree decorated by elf,
Ready for Christmas.

Dec 21, 2013
 One mile walk today,
Was a lovely, warm morning,
First time in two months.

 Last present wrapped now,
Tree decorated by elf,
Ready for Christmas.

Dec 22, 2013
 Patches of snow here,
Creek's banks overflowing now,
More rain on the way.

Dec 24, 2013
Snow falling gently,
Perfect for Christmas Eve day,
Is there more to come?

Dec 25, 2013
Sun hidden in east,
Sunrise visible in west,
Magical morning.

Dec 27, 2013
What a commotion!
Nell hears deer run in the dark,
Wants to herd badly.

Dec. 30, 2013
The driveway is sheer ice,
Dogs and I need our ice skates,
Is roadway the same?

Dec 31, 2013
Sun is shining bright,
New Year's Eve day, party soon,
Still damn cold out though!
