Mary Oliver






     Poet Mary Oliver died a couple of weeks ago.  She will be sorely missed by a world that really needs her.  (see link to her obit)

     Meanwhile, I am back home.  I have 2 weeks worth of snow piled up everywhere.  It is so beautiful, but tell me why again I live in a place with so much snow and ice? 

“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.” 
― John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America

     I do believe that a life without contrasts would be boring, though.
