The bleak midwinter



I hope that you are all safe and warm with ones that you love and have survived the storm...and snow removal.  The only words that come to mind tonight is the first verse to my very favorite hymn ever, which happens to be a Christmas Hymn, but the words seem fitting tonight.  It is perhaps a little ironic, that I hate winter, but love this hymn:

" In the bleak midwinter frosty wind made moan
  Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
  Snow had fallen snow on snow, snow on snow,
  In the bleak midwinter, long ago"
~ Christina Rosetti
