THIN ICE


The days are getting colder. Yes.
Bugs are dying by the truckload! 
Ha ha ha! Good riddance to ‘em all! - 
Calvin and Hobbes

 No one can look at a pine tree in winter 
without knowing that spring will come again in due time.
Frank Bolles

 I like these cold, gray winter days.  Days like these let you savor a bad mood.  
Calvin and Hobbes

 The snow doesn't give a soft white damn whom it touches.
 E. E. Cummings

 Nature chose for a tool, not the earthquake or lightning to rend and split asunder,
 not the stormy torrent or eroding rain, but the tender snow-flowers
 noiselessly falling through unnumbered centuries.
John Muir 

 The problem with winter sports is that
 – follow me closely here – 
they generally take place in winter. 
Dave Barry

I used to be Snow White, but I drifted. 
Mae West

 I must say, the stinging snow makes your cheeks look positively radiant.
Calvin and Hobbes


 I should be doing my homework now. 
But the way I see it, playing in the snow is a lot more important. 
Out here I'm learning skills that I can apply throughout the rest of my life
 - procrastinating and rationalizing.
Calvin and Hobbes

  11. Your quotes are wonderful. I also like your water color pencils. I've tried the pencils and I rather liked them.
