Heard via the news that Vegas has gotten snow! A couple days
ago, I spoke to my sister in Tucson, Az.; she said it was
70 and 80 degrees there. Then, I heard Arizona got snow. That's funny! Weather reports claim there are three snow storms headed our way. I know what you mean Eagle: Surrounded by a blanket of white snow, it's hard to think of anything colorful and flowery!

Crumpet, cherry, blossoms, fruitcake

Fruitcake is not my favorite desert,
I'd sooner give it to a dove.
The crumpet seems fine,
To these tastebuds of mine,
But that's not what I truly love,
For any foodstuff made from a cherry,
Makes me send praises above.

Blossoms, now they ignite thoughts,
Of things I wish never passed,
Like robins 'n hummingbirds,
And sweetly smelled smells,
Of freshly mowed hay and grass,

New words:
Happiness, warmth, fireplace, gifts
