Snowing again. 2 more inches, we break the record for the snowiest winter EVer in North Central Texas.

Poem Artwork

Branches bending
under the weight
of a heavy
blanket of snow --

and I, under,
am young again.
I laugh as it
falls on my head,
fluffs up the nose,
reddens my cheeks.

Fall back!  Angels
winging their way
on fields of white --
snowball fight!  Build

a snowman!  Get
the sled out for
one quick run down
the hill before
it all ... melts ... snow
doesn't last long

here.  But O, the
memories will
of the year it
snowed in Texas.

(c) 2010, Karla Dorman (2/23)

Get the biggest Carrot you can find hon, and stick it right in the middle of ole snowman. It's been hard for you guys in TX and other southern area's, I know I keep an eye out for news. Raisins for eyes, Cherries for the mouth...to remind you spring is coming, and watch see how long it takes for him to melt.
I miss the days of Making Snowmen upon the Grandparents farm, underneath the mountain as a child, and would love to blow off this infernal dusty arid terrain for a while, the heat with it, and go make me a king sized snowman!!
Happy Days ahead hon, and you will be frying eggs on the sidewalk again lol..

I feel and hear a lift of your spirit in this, Karla, and that makes me happy...the snow may be trying at times but it has a way of invigorating and nourishing us when we're flagging. Upbeat and positive and you!

Karla, silly weather has all confused -- we too are expecting up to another four inches within the next three days -- the deep south has been in the grips of very cold weather -- so make the snow man and watch him,in no time he'll be history -- peace and love be always with you my dear friend -- Jon Michael

This is the snowiest winter in Missouri since I was a Sophomore in College over 40 years ago. If we don't get another for 40+ years I won't have to worry about it.

When I lived in Texas, if it snowed it was gone within hours.
With climate change mega hot and windy wet summers with mega cold and wet winters will become the norm.

Just remember this winter, Karla, when those hot, blistering winds begin to blow come summer. Hmmm? Who was that that recently said, "Waaaaaaaaa! I can't write anymore?" Hmmm?
