  2. Sure miss Ohio…especially when the blizzards would come off Lake Erie and the snow would be stuck on the sides of buildings, cars, bus shelters, signs, but there’d be hardly any on the ground. And using lighters to un-freeze door locks on the car. I’ll stick with my beach a while. Good luck with that…got a good photo from it.
    On my Way…

    While I like your picture and the birch is lovely…I’m ready for winter to quit clinging so hard and let spring have a go 🙂

  8. sued51 – Welcome visitors! I am an editor and poet who decided to start a blog as one way of keeping myself busy and writing while I was unemployed. I have also been keeping journals for over 35 years (my closet is FULL!). I have many interests, which is why I blog about so many different things. I hope you find some posts here that interest you!

    and ‘clinging’ is not necessarily a word I think of in a positive way, unless of course it´s being used in a blog post of yours! blessings

  15. Alice – Although I write in many forms, I am first of all a poet. My job is to see the wonder of something newly made from old patterns. Letters become words; words become lines and form into poems.
    Alice says:

    Yes, it does!

    1. I’m about 2 hours from Canada, in the Upper Valley of New New Hampshire. The natives like to say “It’s not the end of the earth but you can see it from here.”
