Giant Pods of White...

It happens every year when the winter sets in . The bigger than life snowballs standing by the dozens in school yards. Driving and seeing them at night can produce a creepy feeling that always makes me smile. I love seeing them. I love thinking about how many little hands it took and how many recesses it took to create the pods of snow. I always wonder if someone put a scarf or a mitten in the center of the ball and will check on it daily for signs of life as the great balls begin to melt. In the spring, when the grass turns green you can still see evidence of the beasts.

Sweet Potato Queens... say what?

This has been a long winter for me. I have now been on antibiotics 5 times since October and am really tired of being sick. No complaints from me on this blog so moving right along... I was at the library on Tuesday and a book fell right into my arms. No really it did, that is one of the benefits of being very short, things are always falling on you. The Sweet Potato Queens Book Of Love by Jill Conner Browne. Well now what can I say about this book....hummm I stopped reading my other book to read it and found myself laughing out loud and turning around and making sure no one was watching me laugh at the sometimes inappropriate jokes and comments. This book is helping chase the winter blues away. Now I am a Northern girl so all these southern images she conjures up really scare me a little, but what the heck it is a great little read. Some of the titles of her books crack me up! Check out the website!
