That's a good idea. When I get in that creative world it can get pretty wild and wacky.

Thank you Margaret. It is such a relief to be warm all day. My younger son gets here in a week and he said it has been bitter cold back in Colorado. As I am writing to you the sun in glinting off the waves in such a way....

Gosh, that is cold. My son is in our cabin in Colorado and it's been hitting 10 below at night. Pipes all frozen and he texted me today and said he would be arriving here in 10 days!

Perhaps he’ll want to come sooner! I hope this doesn’t stay long—minus 5 this morning.

I woke up to a house at 60 degrees with the thermostat set at 71. Just had the furnace motor replaced. The repairman can come tomorrow. I just hope the pipes will hold out and I don’t need a new furnace. It’s always something!

Snowshoes cross mountains bluff, amble along , Lost in waves crest curled toes say the rest, sifts sands of time hours long ago.
