playing possum


picture taker 2 on flickr

Yesterday evening, all the sugar houses in Ira were boiling like crazy. Shows what I know.

A bluebird comes tenderly up to alight
And turns to the wind to unruffle a plume,
His song so pitched as not to excite
A single flower yet to bloom.
It is snowing a flake, and he half knew
Winter was only playing possum.
Except in color he isn't blue,
But he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom.

Two Tramps In Mud Time
Robert Frost
