...and it's SNOWING still!

i'm loving all the snow, but loving more

the slightly milder temperatures.
i rejoice that the temp is above zero
it means
eyeballs don't feel like they're freezing into your brain.
but

it's not THIS mild~

more like this:

and this

(i ate the tiny one)

~~~
i have a few newsy bits:

run by peter verheyen of the book arts list serv

is featuring my book review of THE SPIRIT BOOKS by susan gaylord.

it was hard to finish this
but not hard to enjoy susan's

rich gem of a book.
go over to her place for a visit.

i'm trying to finish some obligations i'd taken on

without realizing how consuming this school year would be.
writing is hard with a haphazard mind
teased by the energies of
teenagers.

it's been mostly fun having more snow this winter

and finding how lovely one of my neighbors has been

plowing me out several times

without charge

and making my life so much easier.

*thank*you*fred*

a snow day or delayed start to school,

and in a week will be winter break.

maybe i will get to work on

the books i owe folks

and the two editions i have planned.
