When tempests swirl above the crown
And heaven's dust conceals the tone.
The siren's blasts though fissures slink
To permeate through crack and chink.
(R Weisser)
In most parts of the country, winter has already arrived. There is a bit of excitement associated with the first cold waves of the season. A lot of locales have even experienced early snows and they gear up for full holiday mode.
This is the exciting part of winter. It's the season of "Over the River and Through the Woods" and holiday decorating, and the partaking of sumptuous food with family and friends. It is both energizing and invigorating, and it puts everyone into high spirits!
Although we have not experienced any snow in Newnan Georgia this season, we have had chilling temperatures near twenty degrees, very cold for this part of the land this early in the year. The cool temperatures are perfect for long evening walks to look at Christmas lights, or even a "sleigh ride" in a little red convertible!
And now is the also time we remember all of those holiday tasks that we were going to do early this year. We were not going to do any last minute scrambling; we were supposed to have it all together!
Maybe next year, what time does the grocery store close this afternoon?

Richard..though winter's not my favorite season I think I'm prepared. I bought a snow blower two years ago and it hasn't snowed since! I think it might be good for another snow free winter! LOL
Richard, we have just started ourselves. Once Stephen is tucked away at pre-school we're going shopping. :-)
Laura G...
Well, I hope that your neighbors appreciate what you did for them! lol
CTS...
What??? This early in the morning? You ARE getting an early start this year! lol
Happy Thanksgiving to Richard and family. Thanks for the beautiful eyecandy photos you have given us all year, thanks for the insight to your corner of the world.
Gail...
What a nice comment! You've made my day. I really do work hard on my posts, and I try to create a "mood" in them,
And a very happy Thanksgiving to you and your family too!
We got a nice snow here in South Jersey. No accumulation, but it was pretty.
Hello Richard, I can send you some snow!
This is the calm before the storm isn't it. The weather is starting to get real cold in Manhattan, but fortunately its a little warmer for the next few days to get some work done.
Steve...
But I say it counts! lol
Caren...
I was raised in Pittsburgh, so that's still a lot of snow this early, isn't it?
Eileen...
And the big parade is tomorrow! I'll be watching!
Here is some more snow for you Richard. Taken 11/24/08 Allendale, MI
I live in Fayetteville, NC and we have already had snow. It didn't stick, but it swirled around for a few mintutes.
They are saying that we could have a record snow month depending on how much we get in the last days of November. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
I am very impressed with the poem. That is very creative. I cannot believe the beautiful pictures you are being sent in the comments. I am going to check out their other posts.
Oh geez - that's right! Stores close early today - better check my recipes NOW! Thanks, Richard - this is a wonderful time albeit stressful at moments! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Richard, no snow yet here in my neck of the woods. Your photo jumped off the page. It looks like you used the Zone System. Ansel Adams would be proud of you. A Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Richard - a realtor, a musician, a photographer and a poet, such a renaissance man. I like your verse. Have the thanksgiving shopping done, but, my wife's birthday is a week from today and I have no clue what to get her, much less what to get her for Christmas. Yet another Fran Tarkenton season for me.
Richard, I always knew you had the soul of a poet! xxoo Have a wonderful holiday. I went food shopping yesterday and of course, forgot a few things, so back again today!!
Tami...
OOH ... it looks cold! Thanks for sharing, and hopefully others that read this post will add their photos too!
Lisa...
Now that has to be insanely early for Fayetteville? Wow, so much for global warming!
Caren...
I remember some years in Pittsburgh we had perpetual snow, other years nada! I wonder what January will bring?
Mel...
One thing I really like about AR are the reports from hither and near! That is so cool, isn't it?
Leesa...
Get to the store and Happy Thanksgiving!
Michael...
Well that's one of the nicest compliments I've ever received!
Big Mike...
I still can't believe that Fran stepped out out bounds on 4th down at the end of Super Bowl IX, but I digress. Take care of your better half, you'll get the job done.
Susan...
I know you will be VERY busy over the next few days!
Richard: Only bone chilling temps and some snow flurries to date in Northern Virginia. But I was thrilled to get up my Christmas tree (just lights on it now) and start burning my favorite Christmas candle by the Yankee Candle Company: MISTLETOE. That candle is the smell of pure Christmas joy. I start it going after work and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate.
I hope you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Richard : We don't have snow yet but woke up to a good frosting on everything. I had to pry open the car door this morning. It is invigorating and I love it!
Hi Richard. I am surprised you get so cold down there in Georgia at this time of year.
Happy Thanksgiving, sir!
Ken
This IS the fun part of winter Richard.
Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Chris Ann...
Why thank you ... I wish you the same. BTW, I know that you love cats too. Our recent addition. "Peyton" turns out to be quite the Christmas Tree climber. Yikes!
Anita...
We had a heavy frost as well this morning. Brrrrr....
Ken...
So am I! lol
Marlene...
It is fun, and I wish you a happy Thanksgiving too!
We have snow earlier this year than I remember in recent years. I'm in the holiday spirit family will all be home this week. Have a great Holiday.
Richard-The weather has started turning cold here in NC too. We don't get a lot of snow here where I am, but when we do, I really enjoy watching it fall. I love the fall of the year. It is my favorite season. I love the picture you used of the house. Thanks for sharing.
Richard...We haven't gotten much snow yet...I am waiting tho. The plow is on the truck and my pocket book is waiting for the green that comes along with it!
Hey Richard, nice snow post. Do you get much snow in Newnan? I bet it melts quickly. The snow here from the other day is still around. We are getting more on Sunday. And so the winter begins!
April
Another great post from the famous Richard Weisser. Please keep posting I injoy your post very much.
