Boy, we had a lot of here in the eastern part of the State Bill. Lost a bunch of trees - so sad! Luckily there was no damage to our home and out buildings!

We were worried about our trees too, but all made it through. Glad yours made it through too. Thanks for the visit and comments Linda. I'll be catching up on your poetry in the next couple of days my friend. Bill

Always nice to see a friend get the POTD honor. It's all I'm able to handle right now, so I read the POTD and the POTW and comment. :-) Smiles ~ Blessing Bill

You betcha, Bill! Those Midwestern roads can be a terror! Driving on that Outer Drive in Chicago is a accident waiting to happen. I’m summer, it’s gorgeous.. Pangie

Ice will be formed first in places close to water. So bridges are quite risky. When driving , we have to be very careful ! A beautiful haiku dear Bill !

Thank you my friend, I try to be more careful once the roads start icing over. Have a blessed day! Bill

You make the picture so clear in my mind Bill. So few words, such a lot of scenery described.

Man, I gotta car with 4 baldISH tires too, not good. I am told I WILL need that corrected before snow falls. 2 mechanics have told me the urgency of my tires. So you live in what TX and are writing about snow? I'm sorry! I really really don't like winter, and I live in the snow belt, or slighly south of it. By slightly I mean by 10 miles or less.

I just bought 4 new tires the last week in October. :-( Thanks for reading and commenting on my poetry, Miranda. Winter is my most challenging season too. :-) Have a great week, my friend. Bill
