There was an old frog named Hobbity
Who liked to lay on a lily pad and bobbity

He’d sway with the ripples, on the lake
Basking in the sun, a joy to partake

He disliked the winter, and all the snow
Waiting for spring, to put on a show

For all the lady frogs, who’d hop on by
Hoping to make them swoon and sigh

But days went by too slowly for Hobbs
Impatient, was he, this old frog

So he jumped in, through the ice
Paid a terrible price!

Now ole Hobbs and Fiona hobnob

This was once a beautiful, majestic tree in Pines Lake, (Wayne) NJ, felled by the “bombcyclone” aka winter storm Riley, we had over the weekend.  A lot of these trees are very old, and could not withstand the 60+ MPH winds that accompanied the nor’easter.

The township was out most of the day and night, trying to handle the fallen trees.  Good job!! But so very sad to see these beauties no longer standing tall   😦

And we brace for yet another storm heading our way midweek…winter’s not done with us just yet!!

Precarious Quandaries – #poetry #FebruaryWriting

She felt her end drawing near
Watched, as the candles burned
They melted away, drip by drip
As the season slowly turned

Winter’s magic began to dwindle
She felt Spring was on her way
Time was running short, you see
As snow fell, on this dismal day

Waiting, was the hardest part
She knew she had no chance
The flowers would awaken
Sway in the winds, and dance

Until that time, she pondered
Wondered how to make it stop
The cold, still lingered, in her
Making temperatures drop

Soon melted, the snow, beneath her
Filled her with much disdain
Another season, passed her by
Twas the end, of Winter’s reign
