ICE SCULPTURES

Snow sculptures

This one is for my sister Kellie. All made of snow. It was amazing.

THE ANGELS SANG!!!!

I know it is just a dishwasher, but I have waited so long for one. I can not believe what a difference it makes. Even though I sometimes feel guilty using it. But only for a moment, then I sing.

Last Night as I was Sleeping

Last night as I was sleeping,
I dreamt
- marvellous error! -
that a spring was breakingout in my heart
I said: Along which secret aqueduct
Oh water, are you coming to me,water of a new life
that I have never drunk?
Last night as I was sleeping,
I dreamt
- marvellous error! -
that I had a beehive
here inside my heart.
And the golden bees
were making white combs and sweet honey from my old failures.
Last night as I was sleeping,
I dreamt
- marvellous error! -
that a fiery sun was giving
light inside my heart.
It was fiery because
I felt,warmth as from a hearth,
and sun because it gave light
and brought tears to my eyes.
Last night as I was sleeping,
I dreamt
- marvellous error! -
That it was God I had
here inside my heart.

The Canal

Hello! We went skating on the Rideau Canal on the first weekend of Winterlude. We skated and ate Beaver Tails. We plan to go back this week.
