Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

Homecoming Week Day Three - Canceled for snow!!!

This is the scene that greeted me this morning.

Photos aren't good at showing depth - - -
But, there is a ROAD in the foreground of this picture.
Can you find it?
Me either.

The Juncos LOVED it.
No wonder they are nicknamed "snow birds."

On a day like today,
I'm very glad I don't live here

Or here.
Brrrrrrrrrrrr!!

The blur in this picture is not caused
By faulty focusing on my part,
But rather by snow flying between my camera lens
And these trees.

For now the snow has stopped falling
And the late afternoon sun has come out.

All's at peace in our
Little corner of the world.

Keetha Broyles said...: Indy started getting it yesterday during the day, so they are ahead of us. I think we have 6 - 8 inches or so here. That's new snow on top of what we still had left from two weeks ago.; January 28, 2009 at 3:04 PM

Sherry said...: Fresh fallen snow undisturbed by wind -- so beautiful! We have a beautiful white winter wonderland outside but ours is mostly sleet -- deep, with ice underneath the sleet.
Makes tiny-winy snowmen :)

What do you like to do on days like this?; January 28, 2009 at 5:52 PM
linda t said...: I wanted to tell you that I saw that "Nancy from AZ" had commented on your blog. So I went to visit her blog and saw that she was from WI... so I was really intrigued! Well, as I was reading through her blog I saw pictures of her daughter and son-in-law... and I know them!! SUCH A SMALL WORLD!
Yes, my son is friends with David and I work with his Mom at the church my husband is the pastor of!!
How fun is this blogging community!; January 28, 2009 at 6:00 PM
I can't find my blog said...: So beautiful! Thanks for sharing it with us.

We are not having winter at all. Should be in the 80's again by the weekend. I'm not happy about that, and regardless of what all of you might think, it isn't good. Our fire danger should be through the roof by March.; January 28, 2009 at 7:49 PM
Martin LaBar said...: Nice juncos.; January 29, 2009 at 8:50 PM
