Final Hour

By Brian Strickland

Powdery snow squeaked underfoot as I made my way across the pasture to my evening stand. A bleak winter sun glared out of a blue-bird sky, but it was apparent that the air temperature wasn’t allowing the ultraviolet rays to make a dent in the powder. It was cold, face-hurting cold.

But on a cold Colorado afternoon while doing some of those inescapable errands, I caught my mind drifting away. Not the most prudent thing to do while driving in traffic.
