Judy Ball Poet Light Verse

Welcome To Alberta

WELCOME TO ALBERTA

Winter's passed, the snow is gone,
The weather's mild and sunny.
I dream sweet dreams of lazy days,
And eating clover honey.

Then suddenly the wind comes up,
First rain and then wet snow.
This morning it was plus fifteen,
And now it's ten below.

Welcome To Alberta

                                       Judy Ball

Jack Horne July 20, 2011 at 8:55 AM LOL, Alberta sounds like Plymouth - although, we get rain and ice (and hardly ever get snow) Judy Ball July 20, 2011 at 9:30 AM Ooohoo, Don't know how I'd deal with that but I have come to find out that I can do ALL things THROUGH CHRIST. However, on my own I sure to sink my ship. Glad you liked this Jack. God Bless, JB

Phyllis Babcock July 15, 2011 at 8:41 AM AH my neighbor to the west you live in a beautiful place Airdrie. Yes, the weather can change drastically for you with being close to the mountains it probably effects you more. Enjoyed your poem this morning. Nice and hot in Regina today. Thanks for reading my poem on Stonehenge. Actually watched a TV program on stone monuments throughout the world last night. God Bless Phyl Judy Ball July 15, 2011 at 9:27 AM Yes indeed it can change but this was written a couple of years ago. Its lovely here right now and getting rain quite a bit as well as some sunshine Thanks for stopping by and looking forward to enjoying your poetry. God Bless, JB

John Loving Iii July 14, 2011 at 9:06 PM where are you? john Judy Ball July 15, 2011 at 7:32 AM Hi John, We live in Airdrie, Ab. Right now it's beautiful here. Wrote this a couple of years ago. It's just a fun poem depicting an old saying we have here in Alberta which goes: In Alberta if you don't like the weather, Wait a minute. We say that because our weather is fickle and can suddenly change but I love it here. God Bless, JB

Linda-Marie Sweetheart July 14, 2011 at 9:04 AM delightful and refreshing piece od poetry Judy my friend.. very upbeat but wet snow..oh no.. this girl is a beach baby..haha.. been to Canada twice.. lovely country..and people ..oh.. Judy Ball July 14, 2011 at 9:18 AM Thank you so much Linda. Actually right now it's warm and sunny here but we have a saying: In Alberta, if you don't like the weather, Wit a minute. That's because it can change suddenly. Once in the middle of May we got a blizzard that socked in all the towns for miles around for three days. People couldn't even get home from work. Thanks bunches my friend. God Bless, JB
