Winter is apparently in no mood to let go of its reign here in the North Country. A snowstorm on Wednesday and cold temperatures have returned to Minnesota—a temporary reminder of what we have just been through.

In February, I dialed back my postings here at ClimbingSky. I began spending the time I had freed up starting the process of working back through the remnants of almost 50 years of writing poetry.

And now, after a long hiatus, I am just beginning to send my poetry out to publications again. I will post here when—and if—they find a home somewhere.

The Supreme Court finally handed Trump his first real loss. The “Boys of Summer” are playing baseball again in the Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues. ICE is supposedly leaving my adopted home state.

Spring is almost here.
