The commercial (and it has to be admitted, the religious) trappings of Christmas don’t get across this threshold. It’s winter wonderland here too. I like the way you slipped in the ginger and candied treats in another context.
Those frozen days are refreshing, actually fun to play if you don’t fall down and break something. I think frozen wild strawberries would be good with the ice left on.

Great to hear from you, my friend. This poem is about a Christmas walk back in 2017. It was magical.
I hope you feeling the magic. Sending you a huge hug.
