Yesterday the winter temperature reached 14 degrees Centigrade and took with it the last remains of a seasonal visitor. He arrived on the 17th and left 8 days later along with his dog (who I never saw!). He is not likely to be back anytime soon as forecasted temperatures for the next fortnight seem unusually warm. So it’s fond adieu and bon vacances to Monsieur Bonhomme de Neige…
A man stood in the garden,
tweed cap upon his head,
eyes as dark as coal,
didn’t show a leg!
He stood there on the lawn,
watching our lives with glee,
his little friend who made him,
was as happy as could be.
But then came the time,
he had to go away,
slowly he just melted,
until he’d gone today!
None of us last forever,
and when it’s time to go,
I hope that I just melt away,
Like our visitor made of snow!
With appreciation to all the ‘adults’ who reverted to childhood in the past week, what fun it was to see so many varieties of snowmen in gardens around!
