Grace Providence

Grace Providence Church overlooks the Mobjack Bay, where the North and East rivers converge.

The winter weather they were calling for arrived yesterday.  We saw rain, sleet and snow.  School was cancelled, and I was dismissed from work at 11:00.  It only took me two hours to drive home.  Son managed to work his car into a ditch in front of the Gwynn's Island bridge.  The story behind that is better left untold for now, mostly because I'm trying to forget it ever happened I need to go to sleep soon.  He's fine, nobody was hurt.

The End.

Other than that it was just another day in paradise around here.

Serenity now.

Green

Somewhere in Mobjack, 2010.

Partially because I haven't had time to take photos lately,

but mostly because I am officially tired of the scarcity of color and life this time of year,

Corn Field Near Glenns, July 2010

I am sharing some old photos that feature the color green.

I can't wait for warm weather.

Hoping to find some words of wisdom to support my lack of enthusiasm for winter, I happened instead upon a few quotes which give good reasons to appreciate this time of year.  

There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you.... In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself.  

~Ruth Stout

I like these cold, gray winter days.  Days like these let you savor a bad mood.  

~Bill Watterson

The color of springtime is in the flowers, the color of winter is in the imagination.  

~Terri Guillemets

OK, fine. Pardon me while I spend the next few months savoring my bad mood. And hurry up, Spring!
