    If Winter comes, Can Spring be far behind ?”

    “It’s a beautiful Winter’s day today;
    The sky is blue; the sun is shining,
    and I want to sing my little heart out”

    It’s a crisp winter snow day in the suburb of Buffalo. Today, at 1pm but who’s counting minutes I will attempt to eat a real meal. Ham, potatoes, etc as I am at my brother and sister in laws, getting stronger from surgery.

    Graannymar, so much has changed in such a short time…how does that happen?

    thanks for being supportive during my surgery time and now…

    My best,

    Nancy ~ I hope dear Percy is correct! Roll on Spring.

    Steph the Blogger ;) ~ I like your Poem. I can hear you singing from here! :D

    WWW ~ It is the grey damp weather here that is depressing. Bright days can be counted on one hand. Today I actuall saw the sun, a rather weak version and it tarried not!

    Dorothy ~ ‘a crisp winter snow day’ how wonderful! Enjoy being looked after. Food is always easier and more tasty in company. Stay well.

    Baino alas unlike you folk down under we cannot say one more week and we will have Spring or what ever season is next on the list. I have to smile at my brother when he says such things.
