Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / January 2007otp- just wanted to share one my morning thoughts
it's soooo hallmarky outside. 32 degrees. the snow is still gently and intermittantly falling, from the calico canopy of blues and whites. i love the cottony softness it temporarily lends a world that has so many sharp edges. no wonder children love snow. kate My teens who never knew snow would love to have snow regularly! I grew up with it and don't miss it. But your writing is so eloquent! Thanks for sharing, Vickie B. It's so pretty up here too, Kate. The trees all have 2-3 inches of snow on the branches. I have a pond in back of my apartment, my balcony overlooks it. Presently, we have about 70 ducks. I went out on to my balcony to throw cracked corn down to them. They love me :))) Carole > it's soooo hallmarky outside. 32 degrees. the snow is still gently and > intermittantly falling, from the calico canopy of blues and whites. i love > the cottony softness it temporarily lends a world that has so many sharp > edges. no wonder children love snow. > > kate Yup - Victoria which is always warm (yeah right) has snow and it is snowing hard right now. Due to get as low as -7 deg celsius which is pretty unusual. So it will all freeze and be a mess for the next few days. Thank goodness I don't really have to leave the house if I don't want to for the next few days (well except my father in law wants to do a booze run and get a raised toilet seat and grab bars but trust me it won't get done if it is icey tomorrow. He can just darn well survive until the roads are good. ) Off to do a couple of minutes of sewing and have a warm bath. Pat goes away for a week and when he is away I can't have baths only showers. The kids will be around some o f the time but I do take more precautions. Cell phone by side at all times etc. etc. As it is I probably should be getting a bath lift or quitting them altogether but the bath is one of my few pleasures in my day so...... I know stubborn. Anyhow off to get warm. Hopefully the power will stay on this storm - this is getting old fast. Kelly > It's so pretty up here too, Kate. The trees all have 2-3 inches of snow on > the branches.

We are supposed to be at -27 with the wind chill. For me this winter has not been good. Between the ice and the snow and the wind, I find outdoor navigation almost impossible. We had a rain storm on Tuesday with pelting rain in the afternoon. Yesterday though, the temperature went progressively lower, and we had snow- on top of all the ice. The snow is like little ball bearings. I know I know, enough with the whine already. In some places having a "winter" is normal, but even here in recent years winter has been very mild. I am not sure where El Nino went, but he is not here. :( Hi ho hi ho, its off to work I go. Rose @}>->-- Being educated means that rather than fearing the unknown, one seeks to understand it.

Winter is now asserting itself here, finally. Went for a walk yesterday morning with it 17 degrees F outside, sunny, with only a light breeze. When I got home 45 minutes later, it was overcast, the wind was picking up and the snow showers were starting. Maybe we'll get to snowshoe in the U.P. yet this winter.....

SignatureNann actually, butch (from mich.) and i moved up here from so. lake tahoe, calif--where snow pack depths and snowdrift heights were measured by the tens of feet and roadside snow markers are usually not seen again until springtime, though sometimes they go unseen until summer (the drifts can be that high and take that long to melt.). it's not uncommon there for it to snow throughout springtime. in fact, it was snowing and 3ft was on the ground, as we were packing up to move up here--the end of april. born in new york, also lived in connecticut and denver, i still totally love snow.<smile> i'm just weird, i guess. hope you have loads of fun snowshoeing. kate remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Kate wrote: > actually, butch (from mich.) and i moved up here from so. lake tahoe, calif > --where snow pack depths and snowdrift heights were measured by the > tens of feet and roadside snow markers are usually not seen again until > springtime, though sometimes they go unseen until summer (the drifts can > be that high and take that long to melt.). it's not uncommon there for it to > snow throughout springtime. After Mary and I met Dan in Reno and spent the night there, we were not sure we'd get to Sacramento for the California Square Dance Convention -- in late April 2004. There was a heavy snowfall overnight on both I-80 and U.S. 50. ... Birds of a feather flock to a newly washed car. |
