February days
End of winter comes closer
Spring equinox nears

Making year’s resolve
Joyous days tobogganing
Life’s journey renewed

Harvest days are gone
Fireplaces filled with logs
Warming heart and soul

Squirrels gathering nuts
Bears catch salmon in rivers
Food stored for winter

Deer racing through woods
Birds roosting in the treetops
A winter day begins

Winter days and nights
Fireplaces filled with logs
Time for hearth and home

Seasonal changes
Warmer coats and hats and gloves
Safe from winter’s chill

Snowflakes on the ground
Picturesque New England scenes
Holidays are near

Snowballs in the air
Riding sleighs down mountain slopes
Children playing games
