On The Weather Scene

22.12.04 | Ilona Erwin | No Comments

We are having our first big snow today… so far it has both sifted fine snow and sandwiched in some large soft flakes. My husband fitted on the snow blade for clearing the driveway later, and we have futilely cleared the walks a couple times.

Quite an accumulation is predicted. I wish I had my cross country skis in order…but I have no idea where they might be and if I remember right the kids played with the poles and broke them.

It is supposed to drop down around zero for Christmas. but I will be holed up in my cozy kitchen and cooking holiday food.

You know, we are so blessed in this country, we have so much. There are so many who are suffering, even families of the soldiers who are sacrificing so much, sometimes it makes me feel sad and guilty in the midst of my plenty. Sometimes I feel the the best way to handle that is to be ready with generosity when you see opportunity.

About Ilona Erwin

I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.

I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.
