shiver

shake slightly and uncontrollably

as a result of being cold,

frightened, or excited

~~~~~

A few minutes in the Forty Below chamber

and most of us were of the opinion

that it was not as cold as expected.

I daresay a few minutes more,

would have produced an outbreak

of the shivers though.

nourish

provide with the food or other substances necessary
for growth, health, and good condition

While we were only inside for a few minutes,

the forty below room did not feel that cold.

While the signed maintained it was 40 below,

the temperature reading was only

a little over 20 degrees below.

I’m not sure how many times I have…

…viewed these images with a clear focus

on husky puppies, and not seen

the buckets of flowers.

Better late than never, I guess…
