Taxing day

April 15th is a taxing day...


Poem Artwork

Taxes in on April fifteenth
That is what I always
Associated with this day
But I got a photo from my dad
And it made me rethink
About this day in a new way
Seven inches of wet snow
Dumped on his city
I could not believe it
It sure is pretty
But enough is enough
Of this white watery stuff

*picture by Ray Axelson*

Oh what I would give for just a day to play in it!
I miss the snow, just not the cold that goes with it!
Taxes are done on my end and it only took me a whole month! Ugh!
Love and Peace~

I know you are ready for spring; but personally, I'd much rather have snow than severe weather/tornadoes. :) Think about it. :) (Live in Texas, no basements here, and we run the risk of tornadoes. Not good when there's no place for shelter!)

Good write, Lynn; the photo is pretty! I have always loved snow/winter! I miss it here in Texas, I really do!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

I am more than ready to go back to Ohio! :)

Thanks Regis, but the photographer is "Ray" Axelson, my dad...Ron Axelson and I believe we are distant cousins somehow and it was his last name on one of his sketches here at the den that brought us together at authorsden. HEY RON!!!!
