what day is it?








electricity is back on,
two nights without
 trees, well it was raining trees.
the big white pine in the back yard
is very very trimmed.
one fell in a neighbor's woods,
a flock of blue jays relocated.
i hauled the big branches from the driveway.
wonder if/when a vehicle will
come inice.

  1. thank you for sharing the beauty Velma! I love sitting here in shorts and a singlet just before dawn after a very hot night seeing all the beautiful cold! I hope the roads will be safe soon for you & your family this silly season ice is beautiful but not for driving!

  7. Whew velma...haven't stopped thinking of you up there since the storm. It may be cold, but it sure makes for some glorious images. Now I'[m wondering if friends over in Westfield suffered (though they have a back up generator)...so many critters to keep warm, including outdoor ones....and the old trees have suffered a lot of loss over the past years storms. I'll phone them tomorrow. Meanwhile, my wish for vehicles to arrive soon.
