Spring Musings

March 28th, 2014 / Categories: Moose Nuggets / 1 Comment »

I walked along the riverside today, reveling in the early spring sunshine. Spring comes to Alaska later than some places. Winter comes quickly and holds on fast. Months of snow and ice pass by at molasses pace. And then? Comes that perfect day. The sun shines warmly and the river’s ice breaks free.

Today was that day. I walked along the riverside lazily snapping photos. Your face came to me then and I recalled your voice; down by the old mill stream, where I first met you.

I miss you on these days, my beloved. I miss you every day.

sweet partings

Winter cleaves to river banks refusing to let go. It’s a tenuous hold at best. All things come to an end.

Go, winter!

Another farewell: trifecta. You’ve made us richer. So long. Be well.
