There has been a big lead up to a blizzard coming our way. Nine inches of snow were predicted for my area. Nine inches is too much for my snowblower to handle, but I’d still like at least a few more weeks to ski so I watched with anticipation all day. I prepared for the…
Saturday, walking the woods and fields behind the library. Reaching the corn field, it looks like a tractor recently came through and plowed under the standing stalks. Rock-sized clods of black dirt lie in a wake of tire marks, segregating the field like waves on an ocean. A few geese stand, looking perplexed at the…
It’s been quite a day, well, weekend actually. No fun stuff with friends but lots of other doings. Yesterday, I drove to a townhouse I thought might work for me in the future. It was the third one I’ve driven past to check out the location, traffic, and vibes. Yesterday I took Java with me…
(My beautiful sister and I) I Gotta Be Me I put one foot out As if to step forward Holding out One treasured Piece of self In cupped hands I pray for Sweet welcome Another feather In my boa The other foot Lifts Stands in transition One more Gift pulled From my basket Another day …

Very zen. Good job Maery!
I love everything about this post! The poem, the photos, the feeling I get when perusing the words and images… Awesome! 🙂

Hope all is well over your way-give everyone a squish please!

Sue – Ah yes little grasshopper..
Zoma – Thanks. Things get so white and bright with the snow! (Well, and a big aperature…)
Dream Valley – I can feel another post coming on about that, hopefully with a funnier angle.
Beautiful photos. The geese, the dogs, and the world!!!
What gorgeous soft colours – I can feel the silence of the snow.
It’s been pretty colourless where I am so I’ve been looking with a few moments of colour in my pics!
I love it…”the silence of the snow”!!!
The photos tell the story but I just have to wonder what your Coffee Shoppe Dogies are thinkin’? They look intent!
God bless and have a marvelous day.
We too have snow…slicker than snot on a frozen glass doorknob out there!
Oh…I just love coming along with you for your winter walk!
I love the simplicity of your words. They make me want to toss out my to-dos and head outside to wander and wonder.
