Day: January 9, 2023

Today is not the first day of spring.

We are just getting into January and

already the cold and grayness are

getting people down. There is beauty

but you must look for it. No one is

swimming and even the waves look

cold. The shore which was visible just

a few days ago is no longer visible.

It is covered with ice and at 26 degrees

will stay undercover for some time.

Snow is still clinging to tree limbs.

Usually, it falls off or blows off a few

days after the storm but not this time.

A few deer looking for food pass across

the lakeside of the house. They add a

little color just as do the crocuses and

daffodils in spring. Any change is

considered good, and we are happy

to see it. Many plans have been

changed because of the potential

danger of being stranded or sliding

on the ice. The black ice is the worse

because you can’t see it until it is too

late and then you can only feel the results

of being on it. Hopefully, no vehicles of any

kind are coming at you at the time. Some

travel too fast for the conditions, but they

are in a hurry and mostly in amazement

to make it through safely. This will pass just

as the heat waves end and the rain stops

and the storms pass. There is time to

accomplish much indoors if you have

a plan and are not lazy. It is nice to have

your indoor work finished when spring

finally comes because it liberates you

to frolic on the out of doors, and who

doesn’t like the aspect of that. In the

meantime we must make peace with

ourselves that there are four seasons:

Winter, fall, summer, and spring.

This alone should make us all sing.

Meanwhile, the cold penetrates through

the windows and walls and you add

layers of clothing or turn up the heat

which these days is expensive due to

the fiats of the occupier who was just

blasted again by the Texas Governor.

I hope your loved ones can avoid being

accidentally poisoned by Fentanyl, and

that human trafficking can be ended.

Time will tell. What once was almost secure

is now badly broken. I hope those who are

strangers to critical thinking are happy

with their choice.
