Today I read Mary Oliver's "I Worry." Timely still, given the impacts felt by the pandemic, and what it now means to "re-open" and "re-enter" society after a year and a half of social isolation.

We've enjoyed a run of sunshine and warm weather, melting much of the snow and bringing forth pussy willows. But here in Canadian the prairies, we snow will come again.

To see images of the card, sweater and painting, go to the original blog post at http://awabisabilife.ca/2021/02/10/roses-in-winter/
