Winter Reflections from Inside a Snow Globe

  Still snowing, although the weather app says differently. My husband says not too far past our house the snow has melted and the roads are clear. I think we live inside a snow globe.

First deep snow walk of 2016. Yes, that’s me. My husband was taking the picture. I was trying to lift my foot out long enough to show off my pedicure. Useless.

Spring is the Elixir

On a couple of occasions when friends have written something, with their permission, I’ve posted on my blog spot.  Please enjoy this by my friend, Amy.  This fits today, as we woke up to 8″ of snow.  There was a blanket of silence.  I’m thankful for the gift of silence. Silent Night, Holy Night ByContinue reading “A Blanket of Silence – Silent Night, Holy Night”

Snowy Trek

Today I seriously bundled up and ventured out in the woods for an hour of hiking.  Two pairs of socks, two pairs of gloves, two hats, two pairs of sweat pants, a wool sweater, sweatshirt and regular top along with a hooded coat was my attire – Michelin woman.  It was somewhere around fifteen degrees. Continue reading “Snowy Trek”
