Finding myself happy,
much spirit having blown
all through my day  –
the weather’s kindness
and the joy of shared work,
and laughter, more laughter than usual,
and frogs at night  – think of it! –
frogs in January!

Surely there will be more winter,
bot the sun setting just a bit later
was not lost on me,
and there is hope
for riding like this
on the top of the days
all the way to spring.
