The Crosssection Of Timber

The sky "Mezzinverno"

This morning the sky looked like this: a deep blue and small white clouds here and there. Despite the near freezing temperatures and the thin layer of frost that is cracking my footsteps in the silence of the morning ... I can not help but think of a rhyme that I read long ago about "The world of Boscodirovo" by Jill Barklem. In this enchanted world of the mice have to come together around the bonfire for traditional celebrations of Mezzinverno e. .. recite this rhyme:

If the day is short and the nights are cold,

the sun is warm, the wind is cold,

the snow is deep, the sky is dark,

glossy mustache, keep up the den,

clothes in a relaxed and elegant ...

winter because the worst is over,

everyone together and hopefully

in the promise of SPRING!

... is nice, especially if the law is lost in the details of the illustrations but ... Thank God I have you and our house to take refuge in the warmth and sweetness of a timeless winter!

A warm embrace,

Claudia
