The pictures of the tree is beautiful. But I know the danger lurking around. I lived my ten years in Wisconsin. Been there, down that on the slipping down on black ice or hidden ice.

I'm in Savannah GA now. We don't have to worry too often about this. But did recently get "snow". It's was really sleet. Days two and three afterward were the worst because the snow would start to melt and then freeze again.

The snow looked lovely from afar

But oh the work to clear my car.

Inches deep and frozen jewels

A mop and cane my only tools.

When I think I miss the sight

I find a pic and all seems right.

Hi Mandy! Yes, a dangerous winter season for so many. Love your little poem, and welcome!

Living in Florida we don't have as much ice, but it's been a little colder this year.

As far as movies, if you haven't seen it Unsung Hero is fantastic. I would highly recommend it for family night.

Thanks Tom! Yes my hubby and I saw that in the theaters and really enjoyed it. I’ve loved their music for so long, it was a wonderful tribute to their mother!
