ABC Wednesday: Distorted

I have been without the internet 
for almost three days.  What a bummer!
In the meanwhile, from 3 p.m. Tuesday 
six inches of snow was dropped on our fair city
with three to six inches more forecast for this evening.
I feel blessed to have a warm home 
with no interruptions in electrical power.
But... I do need to shovel more snow behind my car
so that I will have a driving path to the street.
I hope that everyone is safe and staying warm.

Yesterday while waiting for my car to warm up,
I snapped these two images with my phone.
 Distorted image,
ice playing tricks with my view.
Artistic license!

Head over to
for a bit of fun,
hosted this week
by Mrs. Denise Nesbitt herself!

Very good choice for D! Last week we had been without electricity. We are so dependant on electricity. I am glad to know how we did it in the past. The only thing I really didn't like was that my central heating didn't work. It uses gas but is triggered by electricity.

Great distorted views from your window! Sorry it's so cold, but like you said it's nice to have a warm home:)

sometimes distorted photos are actually great images due to serendipity
Hi Nonnie. We are in the midst of a winter blizzard over here! It has been snowing since about 5:00 this morning...it's almost 5:30 in the evening now and it is still coming down! This is an old Celtic prayer: Deep Peace to You
Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the infinite peace to you.
- Adapted from ancient Gaelic runes

it is for anyone to use I'm glad you like it. I like it too.
oops I just notice that the one on my blog is a little different. I did not write either one of them so you are welcome to use which ever one you like best. They were written by ancient Celts and/or Druids.
We got at least 8 inches today. And cold.

Hi, Norma. Temporarily being in Missouri has been teaching us all about winter survival. What an experience. Life is sure forced to slow down.
Nonnie said…

Nonnie said…

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
