Indeed, it appears to have engulfed the entire nation; the eastern region is experiencing the same phenomenon. Next week will hopefully be brighter. Dear Sara, you adeptly captured the moments.

thank you, Sotto, for stopping by on this snowy, wintry day. I've heard that the eastern part of the country is getting particularly brutal weather. I have a cousin who lives in Ohio; I swear her teeth were chattering the entire time I talked with her yesterday. Thanks for your kind words...stay warm in your part of the country, your poetess friend in frigid Texas, Sara

you're comments were thoughtful and kind. I'm grateful every day for you taking the time to read my poems and to comment so thoroughly. Your words help me a great deal. Staying warm? Gosh, we're still at -2 degrees in my part of Texas. Tomorrow's heat wave promises +27 degrees. This Texan is not accustomed to such brutally cold temps. Have a pleasant day, hugs, Sara
