A Week of Scratchings


Another week gone by.
Mighty winds have swept up the valley all weekend long.
Like nature's spring cleaner
blowing fresh air through the woods
ripping off dust and debris
whipping waves into a frenzy
polishing snow and ice into smooth and slippery surfaces
sending clouds scurrying overhead.

The woods are alive with dancing trees.


Snow clinging to grasses...


...bring to mind the daily scratchings.
