Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

It is one day minus five weeks to spring.  All I see is snow.  And it feels like the cold will never leave us.  In the next ten days there will be five days where it will be in the forties, then thirties again.  It will warm up again.  Our one car is snowbound.  Let us see how long it takes for the snow to melt.  At least, I got the other car out.  Spring will come.  It just does not feel that way now.

The trees blanketed by the first snowfall were beautiful.  It was a “dusting” but nevertheless breathtaking.  It made me glad to be alive.  I was heading for church in the morning.  Everything–the ground, bushes and trees were completely covered with white.  I would be glad when winter would be over and the warm weather returned but I really was in no rush.  It was a brisk thirty-two degrees outside.  And everything was white, a sight my brother-in-law would never see, who lived in San Francisco.  In a few hours the snow would melt.  The morning truly was a “miracle”.
