Another six inches today~

Snow flakes.
by Emily Dickinson
Snow flakes.

I counted till they danced so
Their slippers leaped the town,
And then I took a pencil
To note the rebels down.
And then they grew so jolly
I did resign the prig,
And ten of my once stately toes
Are marshalled for a jig!

Interesting breakfast~


Breakfast took a bit longer this week~until we finished the box of Alphabits.

"The heavens declare the glory of
God,
and the sky above proclaims
his handiwork.
Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals
knowledge.
There is no speech, nor are there
words,
whose voice is not heard.
Their measuring line goes out
through all the earth,
and their words to the end of
the world.
In them he has set a tent for the
sun,
which comes out like a
bridgegroom leaving his
chamber,
and, like a strong man, runs its
course with joy.
Its rising is from the end of the
heavens,
and its circuit to the end of
them,
and there is nothing hidden
from its heat."

Psalm 19

Is Dr. Seuss visiting?
