Nor'easter


Nor'easter, originally uploaded by ujima.

The north wind doth blow,
And we shall have snow,
And what will the robin do then?
Poor thing!

He will sit in a barn,
And to keep himself warm,
Will hide his head under this wing.
Poor thing!

Mom reciting poetry again. Mother Goose this time. I marvel
at her memory @ 93; but those poems are so imbedded in her
memory and she also taught them all to us. The kindergarden
teachers would always marvel that the Moore Girls already
knew the poems she wanted to teach us.

Faced the storm and walked to the gym. With my giant golf
umbrella, with thegusty winds, it felt like being in a sailboat!
Because we're at the highest point in Philadelphia, we got
1.5" of snow so the poor guys were out shoveling again.

Great workout and great stretching. Luckily, Sue had to go on
an errand and drove me home. Can't imagine what it would
have been like walking *uphill* with that wind at my back!
Gusts to 40mph and they'll hang on for 2 more days *and* it's
been raining since Friday night!
Anybody got Noah's cell #?
