Serenity Sunday...week 83
Deep sleep fades
as glowing rays
fills morrow's light
and banishes dark shadows.
Precious day is waiting.
God's wisdom danced.
Particles of glowing silky stardust
defined as grace and perfect love
within every new life.

Through impending cold
and afternoons of soft grey
my sub-conscious seeks an end
to the silky winter fog.
HAPPY SPRING!!!!!
I spent about 1 1/2 hours today raking out a couple of flower beds. I'll be sorry tomorrow, but it feels good to know that one, they are done (at least for now) and two, the blooming flowers are on the horizon. It'll be a long while before I see flowers, but just knowing that they are coming is enough.
Last night, I watched for the SUPERMOON and took a few pictures. I used the 'night' setting on my digital camera, but left my tripod at home. Lesson learned...when it's cold outside, night time photos need to be taken using a tripod...I apparently, shiver a bit.:-) The pictures (above) that I took of the moon last night, we captured over Jamesville Reservoir, which is still frozen. The moonlight on the reservoir was beautiful.
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!!

Serenity Sunday...week 81
His house is in the village, though;
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sounds the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Serenity Sunday...week 80
Love is not a word
It is the soul of a heart
Aching to be heard.
Happy Valentine's Day!~

Country Home......next?
Serenity Sunday...belated week 79
Around here…nothing doing…doing nothing…except watching snowflakes grow into mammoth piles of snow. Piles of snow so huge that I could not wade through it if I tried. Winter white surrounds everything in it’s path and the icicles grow at an incredible rate.
I used to enjoy the snow…I was a skier for years. I’ve come to dread the white stuff…even dislike it to a degree! Last Friday (February 4th) marked the first time in 33 days that we didn’t have a measurable snowfall. Ordinarily, that wouldn’t be such an achievement for most of you out there…here it’s something to celebrate!
It started in December and has snowed almost continually since. According to an article in the NY Times…December in Syracuse (by 12/22) 71.9 inches of snow had fallen on our fair city making it the snowiest December on record. It hasn’t really stopped since…except on New Years day. That day it was a balmy 58* at my house, which quickly prompted the opening of windows to air out the place.
We skated on the storm that left the rest of the country in shambles last week. I don’t know how we managed that, but we were relatively ‘snowfall-less’ last Wednesday (Feb. 2) with only about 7 inches which was several inches shy of the predicted snowfall.
Yesterday, however, we made up for it. In the afternoon…it started as rain/sleet/freezing rain, depending upon where in the county you were…then HUGE snowflakes began to fall. That’s how the roads became so bad so quickly. There were about 10 inches of snow on my car this morning…it was only snowing for about 3 hours last night. I can attest that the shovel fulls of this snow was back breakingly heavy…laden with the water from the sleet and rain that fell during the afternoon.
