Frozen Stream – Backyard – Mars, PA – January 2018
In Time – Seasons of Change.
Isn’t it so comforting?
Doesn’t it fill you with hope?
To know…
that the brittle frozen stream
will once again flow
with soft warm life…
in time.
Seasons of Change.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
Absolutely comforting.

Your beautiful little poem says it all: awareness of the changing seasons brings joy to our hearts, instead of sadness over the temporary gloom of snow and ice..

It is what I love about changing seasons, that knowledge that nothing is permanent, that nature will continue to chime like a well-wound clock and that there is purpose to it all …. and when it is freezing that it will warm up and the streams will babble and sing once more. Such a love picture, such a lovely post.

Hi Jodi, I’ve no idea how I stopped following you! Blame it on WP I guess? In any case, best wishes for 2018 Jodi! ā¤ļø

Thanks Jodi, all is well and very wet in Las Vegas today, major storm moving g through from the Pacific. I’m dealing with high BP and other stuff but am surviving! Life is good!

Can’t get that BP under control with meds?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Hi! It’s basically under control Jodi but not by much. My GP had had to increase the types and strengths of the meds. It’s a chronic problem. I check it at home here a few times per day. My being overweight a bit sure can’t help. Just can’t drop the weight.

Beautiful photo and thoughts, as always! “WE” are experiencing a season of change at my house too! Upon Benjamin’s return from preschool today, as usual, I inquired how his day went. He said it was good but “I’m don’t need school now” and of course I asked why. “Well Gem, I know the alphabet and numbers. I know shapes and colors. I use my crayons and markers on paper, not on walls. I can use scissors and sometimes I color in the lines. I have lots of books too.” I asked if he would miss recess, “What is recess Gem?” Well that’s when you play with the boys and girls in the classroom or on the playground, won’t you miss that? asked a hopeful Gem. “I could just go for recess, okay?” But Benjamin, I persisted, don’t you want to learn more than you know right now? “Yes Gem, I need a computer in my room!” The complete edification of Gem by a 4 yr. old! I decided that this is Mommy and Daddy territory. Thank-you!

Jodi, I took a creek photo which so looks like this one, just maybe more trees in my photo! When I post it I will refer to you as my “twin” fellow blogger! Seriously, wasn’t it roses that had me doing this once before?
Hugs to you for your positive thoughts in Spring renewing the stream in your back yard.
