Fantastic responses especially the haiku Xenia. The pups certainly are at home in the snow, cold feet ?

St Brigid’s Day
Gaelic Scottish Irish
Growing Days of Light
For Early Spring on February 1st
Ah Yes.. Snow In Scotland
Spring Feel coming More
Yet in Florida
Surely
Spring
Comes in February
too as T-Shirts Without
Jackets At Night Are February
Common Indeed And the Day
Oh The Light Coming Back
Now For Colors of Flowers More..:)
