Wonderland part two This entry is where we go 'a photo-blogging. I put on my boots and took a little tour of my neighborhood. Just long enough to confirm what I already knew: there is a lot of snow out there. There is not a Starbucks on the one corner, nor a book store on the other. I will have to make my own entertainment. But for you I have these pictures. The old place does look quite nice, and all my neighbors are out chating as they dig out their cars. The children are dashing around kicking up big billows of snow. I even snow a snow devil ( a whirlwind of snow) in the field across the way a while ago. Didn't move fast enough to get a pictue of it though. 1:52:12 PM    comment [];trackback []; It's a wonderland This was at five o'clock Sunday looking out across New Hampshire ave Adlephi, MD. Its been snowing since I got up this morning - since before I got up. Little snowflakes just keep coming, laying it on. I don't know seems like its snowed a lot this year. Probably just my imagination. I lost my taste for the winter wonderland the year I spent the winter in Great Lakes Illinois. You know they got a Navy recruit training center in that town. I remember the precise moment I renounced winter as an everlasting wonderland of joy. Five thirty am on a guard mail run, pushing my way through level snow three and a half feet deep, drifts topping out between four and six. I'm going to live, I told myself from somewhere inside the piled comfectious ice, somewhere where snow is what people say when the answer isn't syes. Here is a picture from 8:30 the next morning. It's been snowing now for about 30 hours 9:30:28 AM    comment [];trackback [];
