"Nature never did betray.... The heart that loved her, tis her privilege Through all the years of this our life to lead From joy to joy...... ~Edith Holden~   Etsy Shop

  Yesterday I went for my usual Sunday walk with my Bestie. We walked from Kirkstall to Bramley Falls Park along Leeds - Bradford Road and back via the towpath of Leeds - Liverpool Canal. It was very cold, frosty and icy, but nevertheless a beautiful winter walk we both enjoyed very much.  Etsy Shop 

"It's calm and still and almost drear So utter is the solitude; But still I love to linger here And form my mood to Nature's mood - " ~ Emily Brontë ~ Aspin Castle Etsy Shop  

  "Announced by all the trumpets of the sky, Arrives the snow, and, driving o'er the fields, Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air Hides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven, And veils the farm-house at the garden's end." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson~ The Snow Storm Etsy Shop

  "Down in the west The brimming plains beneath the sunset rest, One burning sea of gold." ~Archibald Lampman, Winter Evening~ Etsy Shop 

  "A wrinkled crabbed man they picture thee, Old Winter, with a rugged beard as grey As the long moss upon the apple-tree; Blue-lipt, an icedrop at thy sharp blue nose, Close muffled up, and on thy dreary way Plodding alone through sleet and drifting snows." ~ Robert Southey ~  Etsy Shop
