And now for a little dark madness...

 
OK, all this white stuff is wearing on me..my cabin fever reached a new pitch today...so after digging out Leah and I went to the movies to see "The Black Swan"...strangely fascinating little tale about the dark side and madness...note to self, never put your daughters in ballet lessons...thank god we saw it in the light of day...would have been afraid to enter out into the cold dark night after the credits rolled!

Ready, set, ....

 
Go....damn it, here we go again. We will probably wake up to more snow tomorrow, so the shovels are ready to go....even though I am one who usually loves a beautiful snowfall, at this point, I am kind of over it!

I have become one of those people...

 
I always hate to see Christmas lights hanging off houses long after the holiday has come and gone..and yet, mine are still up on my stairs and shrubs. I missed my opportunity a few weeks ago, and now they are buried under a foot of ice and snow...with more snow to come...I have become one of those people :(

Outside Looking in...

 
"It's where we linger with a sigh; it's where we long to be pulled in..it's where we learn to say goodbye, without saying anything-just standing on the borderlines, outside looking in."-Mary Chapin Carpenter...(after days of cabin fever..sometimes it's better to be outside looking in!)

CARE enough....

 
"Life's most persistent and urgent question is..."What are you doing for others?"...Martin Luther King...on this day and always, take the time to care.

Seeing Fireflies...

 
"All of a sudden, there they were, guiding my path like floating stars, stars within my reach, stars I could take home with me in the palm of my hand. Seeing fireflies, real stars, so close to heaven."

Full Circle...

 
"Never, never rest contented with any circle of ideas, but always be certain that a wider one is still possible."-Pearl Bailey....This unusual stone circle is in my father's neighbor's front yard..not sure where he's going with it but it must be part of the wider circle of ideas.
