On a clear day snow was often visible, but only high above the pines, on distant mountains. Now in Vermont we have a neighbor with a large rhododendron bush, not unlike the one that grew outside my bedroom window in Wauna, waiting for a change of wished-for wind to bring us brisker, cooler northern New England scenes -- which, occasionally, it did. Thank you,too, for this line of your neighbor Robert Francis, our ghost of Christmas present, and the day-in and day-out murmurs of poet after poet for continual awakenings. Richardnoreply@blogger.com
