WINTER

Each year winter takes its toll. Some are worse than others.
I don't know which is worse, the ones with so much snow,
or the ones like we are having right now. Gloomy and rainy,
and fog clouds hanging around like a bad cold. And we have
2 to 3 more months.

But who knows what kind of winter we will have left. That is
one of the things about living in Idaho. You just never know
what you are going to get. Year before last, about this time,
we started to get snow. And it snowed off and on for 4 months.
We had snow 4 feet on the flat. We had 4 feet or more on top
of buildings. Building, if we were wise we shoveled off. Which
we did... many times... even doing the neighbor and friends.
Those who did not, lost their buildings.

Being one of those who doesn't do well with the gloomy days,
still feels encouraged as we don't have to shovel this stuff.
Plus the family is taking me somewhere in February, (of
which I still don't know) so hope this weather holds out
until we get back. As we are driving across Washington
State.

So on these lovely days, I will think positive thoughts.
Maybe the Spring seed catalogs will show up soon.

Also how can anyone here feel down, when you watch
the television and see how blessed we are. My heart goes
out to the people of Haiti. It is nice to see that no matter
how upset we get with each other countries, that we can pull
together in times like this.
