It’s an uphill battle during winter!

“Peddle that bike! It’s your only ride! Don’t give up, just huff and puff and make it happen!” Gun Roswell

uphill-battle

Ride, ride, ride your bike
Gently up that slippery slope of a hill
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is pretty chill???
(Not it’s not!)

It’s all down hill from here!

“Taking a dive, down the hill!” Gun Roswell


It’s all down hill from here!

When ever there is snow on the ground
And a small mountain or a molehill found
The kids will arrive in flocks
Dragging their sleighs to the top
“Mommy, mommy, look at me!
Look how fast I am going!
Oops, look, there’s a tree!”

<Crash, bang, boing>

“Mommy, mommy, look no teeth!”
The kid only laughingly stated
As back up hill he ventured
If only to once more ride
Before getting his dentures

Bikes in Winter Times (three) 

“It’s just like riding a bike! Guess it is, only this time it’s done in snow!” Gun Roswell

Bikes in Winter Times

The several bikes under the tree taking cover from the winter’s deep and tormenting lash of snow, but that is just what it looks like from far away, as these bikes are here to stay, and even totally slay the snows of the winter, never ever fearing the weather, as they have been permanently tethered to this land of cold by their very riders so bold.

So for now, riding along, no matter spring, summer, fall or winter, these bikes and their riders are fierce and do not mind a challenge, not even something bad or ominous foretold. As they take their two wheelers out there, in the open air, peddling gingerly away, as they are not the ones long in one place to stay. And so, no matter the heavy snow fall, the bikes and their bikers stand tall, against the weather gods.

Of course, the shovel is a necessary tool, when packing for the wintery cold, as digging out from the cover light sometimes, cannot be done by hand and well, that might be the only negative, or then it is the ice roads. Then again, spikes to the wheels and thinking of the snow pushing as a sport, the nothing can go wrong for these winter riders.

“Riding a bike in the snow can be fun, that is if you can find the bike under the snow first of all!” Gun Roswell

Bikes in Winter Times

In snow, not cotton
Buried, but not forgotten
Wheels, maybe slightly rotten
Never mind,
I will think of something
For riding my bike
There is no stopping!

“Riding a bike, in winter? Well, guess it takes all kinds, huh?” Gun Roswell

Bikes in Winter Times

Winter be spite
I am riding my bike
Enjoying the ride
Even down a slippery
And extremely icy slide!

Something about… snow?

“Snow, snow, snow and then some” Gun Roswell 


Something about… snow?

Trees,
Without leaves
Pines,
Without vines
Snow
An equalizer

Winter cold and white but harmonious

“Winter’s art painted across the lands, stays on display, never bland, until it’s time to fade away” Gun Roswell

Winter cold and white but harmonious

Cold, white and monochrome
Nature silent under the snowy dome
But, when the sun paints a triple rainbow
The beauty will bring you to an awe

The Forest covered in Snow


“The silence has descended upon nature this winter” Gun Roswell

The Forest covered in Snow

Forest filled with snow
Branches hanging low
Life still or very slow
It’s winter; Hello!?

Frozen in time for the Season 


“The time for sleep for nature is upon” Gun Roswell

Frozen in time for the Season 

Frozen,
In space and time
Leaves,
In dozen a dime

Slippery Winter Road



“During winter, it usually snows, a lot!” Gun Roswell

Slippery Winter Road

Winter, winter
Gave me a splinter
Looking, at my finger
Let out, a whimper
Oh, what a stinker
Is this, snowy winter!
