You really have it, wow. And hey, I'm gonna try that brandy and ginger ale.<br /><br />I love Mark and Emmylou, having listened to one of theirs, "This is Us" about a million times.<br /><br />Your poem is wonderful. I love that "magpies, two for joy" and the final lines especially, <br /><br /><i>All is raw and keen and beautiful,<br />only rime, hoar frost and icicles<br />are nipping at our skins.</i><br /><br />Beautiful work. And how nice that winter brings out poetry in both of us!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-32689726087791774202010-12-09T00:35:31.970-08:002010-12-09T00:35:31.970-08:00What a warming post Cait, it glowed.

It takes some effort to actually count my blessings in this weather, But you are totally right all the things you mentioned are real positives.<br />And I do remember liberty bodices!<br />But so glad for thermal vests now, so good for dog walking.<br />So from the comfort of my wrm room and the twinkling lights on my tree, i wish you only good things in this long winter.<br />xFire Byrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477692359400671374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-21412060623404301582010-12-08T23:29:36.486-08:002010-12-08T23:29:36.486-08:00hello cait, found you via my posting at gigi's...hello cait, found you via my posting at gigi's blog, and wanted to say thank you for leaving a comment - as i never know if anyone returns to a blog (left a thank you to all there). <br /><br />but your post yesterday made me suddenly so nostalgic for all things england - as the good english gal that i still am, despite 16 long years in the tropics!!! :) - and you know how it is when you read blogs, sometimes you just find one that looks like a bit of a 'kindred spirit'...as does yours. will enjoy some reading of it now... <br /><br />and thanks so much again, yes....I do know she is always with me...it took until my 40s (to really know that) but it makes me very happy.Eliza Deaconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13108122268452015845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-48694702268645368022010-12-08T10:23:24.827-08:002010-12-08T10:23:24.827-08:00So agree with this post and your thoughts here.

I've heard of Emmylou Harris, but not of Mark Knopfler. I'm happy to discover his soothing sound.<br /><br />You are doing remarkably well to keep the spirits warm. Nothing gets more stressing than bitter cold weather for any length of time.<br /><br />May God bless you, too!Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
