~~Bad Haiku Friday and Haiku My Heart~~



Tufts of snow so white
Tufts of snow, white and fluffy
Tufts of snow so slick!
~~~~~~~
Snowfall
Beautiful sight 
Flakes so different yet
Of one community
Piling up it must  be shoveled
Much work!

I do love snow when it covers the ground in a light carpet of white.  But like white carpeting, though so beautiful, it is easily ruined by one footstep.  It is no longer white but begins to turn gray, then brown then oh so ugly.  It's just the nature of this visitor.  Wishing all a grand weekend wherever you may be!

Thanks be to God!

Please visit Laura at Catholic Teacher Musings the sponsor of Bad Haiku Friday.  Visit also Rebecca at recuerda mi corazon for Haiku My Heart.

~~Tea Talk~~



Come, let us have some tea and continue to talk about happy things.
Chaim Potok

I'm having...my favorite Good Earth Tea.  It's a cloudy dreary morning, with snow in the forecast.


My teacup...is my Norman Rockwell Christmas mug.  Probably one of the last times I will use it until next Christmas.


I'm feeling...a bit anxious as one does when they are beginning a grand adventure with all the twists and turns, hills and valleys it will surely have.



On my mind...taking down and putting away Christmas decoration.  Will begin the process Saturday.  And them beginning to empty all the cabinets in the kitchen in preparation for its remodeling.  Oh what a chore that will be!!



Christmas Day in Newaburgh on the Ohio, 2010

We had a wonderful walk with Jimmy and Kelly.
Has become a tradition when they come to visit 
at Christmas.

 Thanks be to God!

Now won't you join me and visit Ruth at Celebrate Friendship is hosting Tea Talk at her house?  Share a cup of tea or a cool refreshing drink with us.
