Well it seems Winter just doesn't want to end. Bitter cold today and another dusting of snow. This Winter reminds me of my youth. Winters were always long and very cold. We've been lucky the last couple of years with mild Winters. So I guess this one is just reminding us the way it is.
Always a beautiful thing to carry you through the day is music.
Well there seems to be a new glitch with my blog. I cannot reply to anyone's comment on my posts nor can I add a comment either. I have no idea what is causing it, I hope it gets fixed. I did send a feedback about it but who knows if anyone even reads them. Anyway here we are the first Friday in March. It's also this time of year when we do our tax returns. Even when you're retired like I am....
It's been awhile since I posted. It seems the world is even crazier than before. The invasion of the Ukraine is most disturbing. There's no real reason for it at all. This could be the start of WWIII. For along with the invading army, Putin has made it clear that nuclear weapons could be used. Many have asked why now this invasion? I don't think there's a clear answer to that. While our world has been further divided, it seems it's forgotten what all of us should be doing.
Sowing the seeds of love..
Autumn
Chilly Autumn breeze
Rushing along
To say hello
To the valley below
~
A time of change
A new season
Lovely the sight
Of much delight
~
Soon rainbow colors
Decorate the days
And a smile
For a little while
~
Chilly Autumn breeze
Rushes away
To say goodbye
To the sunny sky

A couple of years have passed
Still there are tears
I miss you so
Just to have one more day
Happy Valentine's Day sweetheart...
Christmas has come and gone. The anticipation of getting to Christmas day is wonderful and exciting. Then it is over what seems really quick. But the spirit of it lingers and how great would it be if that would last all year long.
This Christmas was different for me and about everybody. My family and me played it safe. So I didn't get to visit the kids and grandkids. We saw each other in other ways. Also this year was like I remember from my youth. It started snowing on Christmas Eve and continued through Christmas. I remember late at night as a kid on Christmas Eve looking out the window to see if I could spot Santa with the snow whipping around. And going to church on Christmas Eve to here the sermon about the meaning of Christmas.
So after many years this Christmas was a white Christmas after all something not seen for awhile. Here's a pic from early morning Christmas day the view of my neighborhood street from the taken from the sidewalk in the front of my house...
Waves rush forward
Only to fall away
To return whence they came
For this is nature
To repeat again
Nothing can be the same
~
Years pass along
One adventure again
Morning, evenings collide
A million gallons
Cover like a garden
Two way, another side
~
Pieces of time
Rising from where
Slip into this soul of mine
For the memory
Will never forget
Always there the sign
~
To rise above
To fall again
A thousand and one tears
From the heart
The ocean wide
Embracing all the years
