Beautiful Disaster


Monday, February 25

Morning snow eleven inches deep
Lilac bush flat
Cedar trees hugging the ground
Deer hi-stepping it
Two birds flying south
Bushes collapsed under weigh
Squirrels hiding
Camera clicking
Trees splitting
Power flickering
Branches popping
Wait and watch
Limbs snapping
Driveway blocked
Yard clean-up, where’s Austin?
Dry flakes stacking
Praise God for cell phones
Fireplace ready
“This is the day the Lord has made.”
I will rejoice anyway!


Wednesday, February 27

Five more inches and counting
Two icicles – ah, childhood memories
Deer comfortable under cedar tree
Four-wheel ride down driveway to mail box
No computer
No TV
 No internet
No cell phone
Pioneer Days!
More time available to compose stories
Warm house
Hot tea and coffee
Prayer time
Praises to our God
Koi hibernating
Deer eating moss off broken branches
Squirrels still hiding
Ice coming tonight

Another beautiful pond view from my library window!
