1/6 The Snow Storm
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,

5/6 Fills up the farmer's lane from wall to wall,
Maugre the farmer's sighs; and, at the gate,
A tapering turret overtops the work.
And when his hours are numbered, and the world
Is all his own, retiring, as he were not,

6/6 Leaves, when the sun appears, astonished Art
To mimic in slow structures, stone by stone,
Built in an age, the mad wind's night-work,
The frolic architecture of the snow.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

2/2 Attached is a guide to the meanings of the caterpillar's colors. Woolly bear caterpillars are one of many caterpillars and butterflies that overwinter in leaf litter, which is a great reason to please leave the leaves. #folklore #Autumn #pollinators #WyrdWednesday #winter
