blindly into the night...

last evening

i was

calmly driving...

 

when all of a sudden

 it started snowing

within moments

it was nearing

white out conditions

it was hard

 to see what

was in front

of me

i slowed to a

crawl

just making sure

i was staying

on course

then as i gained a

bit more confidence

i eased my foot

further down

on the gas pedal

keeping faith

that the road

 was still

before me

and isn't that how

we live life

we have no idea

what tomorrow holds

the next minute

or hour really

we slowly

build up confidence

develop a faith

that

there will be

a reason to go

on

and then we do

one foot in front

of the other

blindly

like a white out

in the darkness of

night

chocolate + socks + paper

there's snow

everywhere

this weekend...

.

 

...even in places

 it's usually not

seems like a perfect time

to share my snowman

a chocolate bar

a pair of purple socks

some white paper

a few markers

and

a bit of whimsical talent

creates the cutest snowman

my youngest son's girlfriend

found the idea on pinterest

and

created it just for me

thank you jessica

luv u mother nature...

just a quick

little message

 to say...

.

your timing

was not so much

 appreciated today

just in case you hadn't noticed

my dear friend dave

had just finished polishing

the front windows

his first job since

having knee surgery

several months ago

when you decided to dump

on cleveland

yet again

with that wet, heavy white stuff

 i am going to be forgiving

this one last time

but please

let me remind you it is

the last day of march

could you kindly move

onto the

next season

shout out to my snowmen

getting stuck

 in the parking lot

 is no fun...

.

unless

you are lucky enough

 to have

 two handsome men

upstairs

willing to come

 to your rescue

thank you tj and john

winter's beauty

the brilliance

of the sunshine

glistening...

.

on the ice

delicately

hanging from the trees

the beauty

of the creator

for all our eyes to see
