I think it is therapeutic to allow ourselves the down and out days. Your pictures are beautiful.

There do seem to be more downs than ups when I look at the news and events going on in the world. But then, the wheel has always turned and the pendulum has always swung, and time will change whatever is happening now. 

Meanwhile, as world politics swings right to the selfish, heartless end, as humanity in so many places seems diminished, in other places it is strengthened by the offenses, and love grows, and light shines brighter in the darkness.

It sounds like a good day to rest. Those photos you have provided are soothing to the soul.

There's a song that kind of applies to us all during winter's last hurrah.

At least the title applies: "Send in the Clowns."  Now that I think about it the lyrics ain't all that cheery. By the way, you may not be ready to hear this, but I heard the gnomes are learning to write code, and will one day soon be ready to hack into Mother Nature's master computer. I understand there's a plot to create a perpetual full moon so the party never ends, even though it's mandated that in Camelot, the rain can never fall 'til after sundown....

Well unlike our dear blogger RP. I find the pictures a bit depressing If you could show one of yourself when you purposely fell onto the snow, it would be great.  You must have it somewhere. Please do not do it again. We have just had snow it was horrible but thankfully it has melted at last. My snowman was doing a rude gesture so I refrained from displaying his dirty bottom.  It appears that you are one of my feinds ****2 friends on Linkedin. I just cannot adopt any more friends at the moment. Spring will soon be available in small doses, perhaps our Wiley will feel better when he can sit out in the sunshine. Just going shopping because I am having a new stair-carpet tomorrow the present one has lasted twenty years Axminster.

So I just ordered one guaranteed for ten years and then I'll re- think

what my options are. Hope you are still reading this..

I've been sleeping a lot in the daytime just waiting for a cheery spring.  I couldn't believe it yesterday when Ribcage noticed that the maple tree out front already has the little red blossoms coming on--the ones that turn into little heliocopter seeds.  Everything else will soon turn into busy spring growths.  That makes me smile.
