ice and snow and wind

civilization shudders

so thin the veneer

This is as one of the best winter "reminders" I have ever read, Mr. Ice.

Dear Box of Ice, this 'Reminder' is conc'ice' and chilling!

Alas, thin veneers tend to crack!

Sending a big warm hug your way!

I thought of you and the way you love a storm, but not the shoveling part, when I read about the snow on your side of the world.  Keep the fire burning.

As beautiful as snow is as dangerous it can also become ...

Nature's voice is rendered beautifully here, dear Charlie.

Love and keep safe and warm.

I am glad that I didn't go with my husband this trip out...he was up in NY and NJ and PA during the blizzard. He finally got out yesterday. I didn't sleep that night. Nature does remind us indeed.
