Description


this winter went by in a haze of winter-not- winter-not-winter travel south with the seasons and winter becomes something for others to worry about snow rain sleet and bitter wind items in the news still there were cold days relatively speaking they said quite seriously as the temperature dropped to almost-but-not-quite freezing-oh-dear cold those nice people from michigan indiana north south dakota where the snow piles up drifts in inches and feet high while they are elsewhere complaining about weather too cold to lounge in the warm swimming pool winter is over nearly everywhere these days tornado season has begun in the heartland flatland corn wheat land and we take shelter tomorrow we head north and west into summer and the setting sun ....................... The challenge topic in the Writer's Gallery for April was, "Winter is Finally Over." Many thanks to Jeff for continuing to come up with topics! It is greatly appreciated.

Winter is finally over, but Lake Superior will remain partly frozen until June. Yep! This was an interesting year. Great piece of writing too: My attempt at meeting the challenge tacked itself onto the end of something else; and so it's a double pleasure to see a challenge piece that actually agreed to be a challenge piece, and it's so well done. It's funny, too, because I've been bitten by the prose poem bug. I went and dug up my well-read copy of Michael Ondaatje's short novel: The Collected Works of Billy the Kid...and I suspect that it'll have some tangential effect on the next few things that I write. That has nothing to do with what I just read here, but I there is a connection in the way you've compressed so much into so little space. This is so well done!

Ah, it is! We're almost done with April - the mornings are still crisp... But the snow is gone. A lovely bit of prose, Tara! What a delight for the last work I see before retiring, and getting ready for a new week. Delightful ArtRage work, too!

NIce to see these great words from you; and these are just perfect---who doesn't love the end of winter? And you've been all over, seeing winter is so many different ways---and missed all the nasty stuff!!

We had drought all through the winter months so now that summer is almost here we are getting some rain. Go figure. A real nice piece of writing. I bever thought if it before but you and Bill have become Snowbirds in a mobile home.

You preview these pieces with me and I love that you value my opinion during their birth. But now to come back and read this again several weeks later....ah, yes, you have a gift for painting with words as well as pictures. More...:)
