WINTER WONDERLAND

Photo by S. Auberle

driving up the peninsula

watching a luscious moon

rising up out of the lake

sun is setting over the bay

four o'clock on a December day

snow has blanketed the land

old barns and cabins looking snug

in the car

I'm listening to carols

most fondly thinking of you and

today gas cost only $1.69

simplify, simplify said Thoreau

and really, can life get any better

than this?
