winter came to us – and Frogspa at Liquid Ranch – not that the frogs were particularly fussed,

nor were dogs.

One day brought small snow flurries and constant rain.  Didn’t get out much..

Others were less bleak…some of the time.

The spa frogs, their waters always warm, seemed happy either way.

Strange trackage as we walked the roads because, weather or not, it was way wet off the gravel.

Monday, last day, allowed a last early trip around the ponds before things thawed

and later, after the year’s last watercolors,

a rainy afternoon of minimal packing

beneath skies most low, oh;

Wintertime.
