Snow Quilt Block and the Last Word



Snow Quilt Block Pattern Information

Last Word

Today the April rain

Is flecked with snow;
Soft little flakes, wind-tossed,
Run in the rain – lost –
Trying to explain
That winter should remain,
Letting us know
That winter hates to go.
                       
by Leland B. Jacobs

Catkins, leaf buds, and leaf-out all on the same aspen tree

 

More leaf-out

 

Rain in the afternoon turning to snow in the night

Visitor

 

A spark, a glint,

  a glimpse

  of pixie tidbit.

Bright flits, brisk zips,

  a green-gray blur,

  wings, zings, and whirr -

 

I just heard

  a humming of bird.
