“Kindness is like snow—it beautifies everything it covers.” Kahlil Gibran   Good so far. Just did snow removal.

Those made it very painful to hang…

“You can’t get too much winter in the winter.” Robert Frost Woke up before daylight, not hard to do here in the winter. Had extreme fatigue and could hardly shuffle to get to the fire. Same thing woke me as it always does, the need to pee. I haven’t mentioned the frequent need to urinate….
