      I do also, Bjorn. It freezes so much out and we get to start with a fresh slate when it’s over.

    Cloud cotton leaves–love that and the turn in the poem with “if momentary.”

      It was a day when the sun decided to shine.

      Today when I looked out a “truffula-like” cloud stopped just where it would be a tuft of green in summertime. Hence the poem :)
