Winter in the Garden

A time to reflect, prune, mulch, cut back, shovel snow, watch birds. . .and think about next year’s garden.

Like Brooms of Steel

The Snow and Wind

Had swept the Winter Street–

The House was hooked

The Sun sent out

Faint Deputies of Heat–

Where rode the Bird

The Silence tied

His ample — plodding Steed

The Apple in the Cellar snug

Was all the one that played.

— Emily Dickinson
