Frozen window pane
Plays peekaboo with the sun
A seasonal game
It has been a long, cold winter here at the Farmstead in Central Maine. Last week’s ice and wind storm left a perfect canvas for the sun to paint its magic on the living room window, inspiring me to write “Winter Game.”
What’s inspiring you this winter?

I collected word nuggets for The Ice Crystal Robe several years ago. Last week I shot the photograph for this post when one of our lilac trees was shimmering like a gemstone in winter’s early morning sunlight after a storm. ~Bette A. Stevens~
The Ice Crystal Robe
Royal Finery,
glistening diamond ropes
embellish bare arms.
Her ice crystal robe
disappears by mid-morning.
Lilac stands naked.
Come join us!
