Winter is almost over

Outside my window,
magnolia in full bloom.
foretell winter’s end.

I’m not fond of the cold winter months. I live in a old brick house with high ceilings, thin window panes, and plenty of places for the cold to seep in. As soon as it begins, I’m longing for it to end. And so, when I look out my kitchen window to see my neighbour’s huge magnolia tree in full bloom, I know there’s not much longer to wait.
