Mourning

Dave Marquis

It is durning these dark days of winter that our emotions well up. I know that I am not the only one that feels this but many people across this frozen tundra. Tonight it is nearing -10F and the chill runs to my bone.

I took this picture a couple of months ago when the wind wasn't so cold and the snow had yet to cover the ground. So I offer the mourning lady statue, who to me mourns for spring.

I was out a little bit ago and you know what? My nostrils froze shut! Man is it killer out there here in the frozen trundra of Minnesota. Oh when will the spring return and the grass grow green?
