Snowing again! Everyone I know is so damned frustrated with the snow piled up in the corner of parking lots! I watch as the town trucks piled high with snow drive towards the country. I envy that snow headed somewhere quiet...
I don't mind the snow. It makes me feel protected, somehow it softens this vane world. Mother nature controls this time of year and I am willing to let her rip up the pavement and smudge our perfect landscapes. Winter should serve as a reminder that we cannot control the world around us. There are powers greater than ourselves at work here. We are not boss here only active participants.

Penned this simple poem while waiting at the end of my driveway as snow swirled around my head. It reminded me of when I was a kid and used to lift my head to the sky and stick out my tongue to catch flakes. I wonder how bad snow is to eat? Does any science fanatic have this information?

Tried driving up Directors Hill in a snow storm. It is a challenge to attempt wiith 4 wheel drive but stubborn as I am I tried it with the minivan. I've lived to say it cannot be done. After sliding a good 15 feet backwards I ended up sideways in the driveway on a steep hill. All was not lost. I cut the wheel hard and stepped on the gas a few times; first in reverse, then drive. Somehow I ended up facing back down the hill and I was wise enough to go in the direction pointed out to me..thanks god! Finally a 4x4 brought me up the hill and I got to our first singing practice. CD's of our Holiday concert were passed out. I dropped mine off to Dad this a.m. He did not make it to the Christmas show. Music makes him cry. I hope it makes me cry when I'm old and fragile as a moths' wing. That passion exists in us right to the very end is what makes us human and real. Signing off with that thought.

It's snowing again this Tuesday. What is it about Tuesdays? It has snowed three Tuesdays in a row and I'm beginning to suspect a curse.. The Voices have yet to meet this year because of inclement weather. Our Spring Singing Sensation is going to be jeopardized if we don't get practicing soon. It's been the most challenging year of my life (saga to be continued)... If I could look out my window and see a butterfly in the snow; I believe I could regain all hope once again...I'll leave these pages with this thought... The Heart Sees What the Eyes Cannot...
