Blessed cold

Well the cold has finally arrived, at least it is cold for Georgia,
in other parts it would be just mild, yet 30 degrees is nippy,
and I love it, the cold, I can breathe in it, and feel lots of energy,
my mood is often elevated in the clean crisp air filling my lungs.
We even had a bit of fall this year, another plus, and a surprise,
we are after all in a severe drought, the worst in a hundred years;
some leaves turned red, and some a golden orange color,
rare so very much appreciated and admired, yet most trees just brown.
Our Ginkgo's did not have their golden leaves, something I always love,
nor did the leaves fall quickly as they do in most years, many just dead,
stuck to the limbs, not going anywhere, until a big blast carries them away.
I will enjoy the winter months, mild, some freezing, hopefully no snow,
prefer the rain any day, the gently falling of drops, or the pounding,
dark clouds, love it all, so Georgia is a good place for me to live.
