Tanka


 an ice blue day
darning socks
by a sunny window
generations before me
guiding my hand
Tanka Society of America, 2020

Thanks, Sandy for the great haiku. Snow is good for two activities: taking pictures and writing about it. Have only a few snow photos for this winter. It's just cold here, sunny and cold.
