I come from a world of winter and pine forests.
When snow falls, nature listens. ~Antoinette van Kleeff
And this year all the world has listened to the winter howl in our environment. Who says there’s no evidence of global climate change?
The bark at Torc
All that said I know the world will someday be green again!

Cee is challenging us funly with the chorus of Favorite things this week. You remember it don’t you?
When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I’m feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
Crossing over
And then I don’t feel so bad.
Now you try. Simply go to…

Here is how I saw it.
Always remember… “When we engage in what we are naturally suited to do, our work takes on the quality of play and it is play that stimulates creativity. “
Linda Naiman

Here are my responses:
I have no white- dress-blue-satin-sashed girls for this challenge. What I do have is a ton of silvery white winter. With two more feet of the slivery white wintry stuff ready to dump on my head I am really looking forward to the melting into spring thing.

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Depth.”
Please click on the word depth to see how others have interpreted the challenge. Here are my thoughts from Psalm 42
My soul is downcast within me;
therefore I will remember you
Oh the deep deep love of Jesus!
from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.
7Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
And the running of water
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.
