Happy new deer
…listen
…about the musicMusic that’s… buckolic.
Well, after two frozen solid weeks of bizarre island weather, we are making like the Wicked Witch of the West and meeeelllttting, as the temps climb into the low forties. I love the snow, but I admit that it’s really nice to see all the green again. And that’s what there is here all winter long: green grass. Even the freeze didn’t manage to ding very much of what I see out my window.
And sometimes, what I see out my window is rather funny:
and I thought I sometimes made an ass out of myself….

And of course, Happy New Deer to you as well. I still Applaud the fact that you do not watch network television, that your picture windows are active enough without a satellite beaming extra images to you. Too bad the foot of snow melted off so quickly for you, but it is refreshing to think you welcome back the green of your forest and yard.
Your musical clip, UNABASHEDLY @ 1:52 is always a welcome mp3, and this morning it greened up my mind, yes it greened up the whole day; but it did not bring to mind ireland–somehow it conjured up for me Scotland, the loches, the highlands, the shaggy cattle, green ascending and descending, the wool kilts, the plaid sashes, the knee high stockings and thick boots with green laces.
We suffered a bit with the foot of snow down here on the flatlands of America, in the South Sound, in the shadow of Rainier. Even as it began to melt, the ice and slush made it hard for me to ambulate for sure. I am coming off a four day weekend though, and prepping for another; and that’s a sweet, almost green thing too.

The grass is green in the Finger Lakes, as well. All winter long.
It is unabashedly greener on the other side of the country, of course.
Then, all that is natural is unabashed and humans must be innocent or work to achieve it as regards emotions.
Lovely music…would love to hear it entire and repeatedly.

I grew up on Waldron but live in Philadelphia right now. After reading the last 2 posts I miss the islands so much. Don’t really miss I5 in the snow, though…
