I think we started singing ' It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! ' back before Halloween when we picked up our first seven inches of snow. I now have snow banks that are eight feet tall in my yard. Nuff sed. An elder friend of mine from The Villages in Florida died late yesterday afternoon.... Sign in to see full entry.

It is currently zero here at about 8 PM EST Sunday. Against my better judgment and my 'common sense,' I drove over to Munising today to visit a few waterfalls. The high of the day was about 17. I took several photos of several different falls, and will post one in the morning. In the meantime, stay... Sign in to see full entry.
It's cold and windy today. Temp is about 17 with a steady wind from the northwest, fresh off Mama Superior. I'm not yet sure what I am going to do today. Sign in to see full entry.

Fountain of Sorrow
Jackson Browne had a haunting love song that always hit home with me, ' Fountain of Sorrow.' Following the loss of my wife, this song has played havoc with my 'inner thoughts.'

I think we got six of those inches in the last thirty miles. As I was driving, I was accumulating... Sign in to see full entry.

I made it home. My normal five hour trip was nine hours. We are in the middle of a blizzard here. Ten inches of new snow on the ground now, with another five to ten inches coming. Yippie! LOL. I'm going to take a nap! Sign in to see full entry.

It is cold outside! It is currently -7 here. Good grief. I'm intending to be up and out the door within the next thirty minutes, so I'll keep this brief. I'm going to drive down state to pick up my friend, Kagan. Due to the very short hours of daylight, I'm going to stay with my nephew tonight and... Sign in to see full entry.

I am headed down state in the morning. I will post most of my normal stuff early in the morning and then Thursday, I'll make my posts for that day. It is going to be a cold one tonight and tomorrow morning. I see a snow storm forming for the morning. If I leave on time, I'll duck most of it. It's an... Sign in to see full entry.
It's a tasty 12 degrees outside right now. Low tonight will be zero. It's the UP. It happens. If I can keep my bloody cell from ringing off the hook, I'm finally on a writing roll again. It is why I keep writing all the time. A habit gets to be a habit by doing that particular thing every day. If... Sign in to see full entry.
