Very much enjoyed my time here, wading through your blog...as a poet, and an avid reader, I found it both enlightening and enriching.

Thank you...

simply lovely and atmospheric... and well suited to a flurry filled evening like this is. Snow may be a pain in the butt, but it sure inspires some fantastic reflections and images in our minds.
