Touch of color in my black and white world

For weeks, our trucks were the only color outside,

other than black and white.

My mood suddenly change to black and white also.

I was still me, outside, but on the inside, I felt quiet,

alone, and uninspired by any thought I had.

Energy only to do routine cleaning, yet I see so much

needing done, before spring gets here and

lets me out of this prison.

This view is from my front door. Another black and

white view to get excited about. yeehaw

My days have been brightened by babysitting

little Kiley. She is learning so fast, and mimics

perfectly. We all have to watch what we do,

and how we look at things, if you know what I

mean. She has been my sunshine thru these

weeks. When she goes home, I feel lost without

her.

Warm temps come finally. The snow is melted now

with only giant piles remaining but disappearing fast.

Temps have been so warm, I have had the windows

in the house here open, letting in the fresh air.

My mood is starting to be so much better.

I can even find humor in the wrinkles I have

acquired this winter. That was a bad

discovery I made recently. But now I think

of it as "that's life".

So here is a peek of what was sprouting under

all that snow. Oh Thank You God. Some color

other than the red around here, in my of late

black and white world.

There also sprouts hope, hope that my mind will

also become colored again, giving me some good

thoughts, good words to come out of my mouth,

good days to look forward to, good ideas to keep

busy til gardening time.

Summing up my winter of 10'-11',

me, the snow lover, winter loving,

hang in there with physical vacation time

after a hard worked spring/summer/fall

season attitude thinging for the definition

of winter girl, thinks this winter

SUCKED !!!
