To the Thawing Wind

COME with rain. O loud Southwester!
Bring the singer, bring the nester;
Give the buried flower a dream;
make the settled snowbank steam;
Find the brown beneath the white;
But whate'er you do tonight,
bath my window, make it flow,
Melt it as the ice will go;
Melt the glass and leave the sticks
Like a hermit's crucifix;
Burst into my narrow stall;
Swing the picture on the wall;
Run the rattling pages o'er;
Scatter poems on the floor;
Turn the poet out of door.

~Robert Frost

A thank you poem from a favorite poet.
For your warm and kind thoughts for Emma.



When you hear the weatherman say breezy, what do you think?
Do you think a cool breeze or do you think a warm breeze?

I think of warm air when I hear breezy...and I get hopeful.

I love nothing so much as a warm breeze.

Now here is the exciting American Idol news I have been waiting to tell you...

Kim in Ill. aka Hiraeth goes to church with that darling David Radford!

Here is a quick interview with David

The boys sing tonight on Fox.
Don't forget to vote! It's free, ya know :o)

I flipped between the women's figure skating and American Idol last night...there were extraordinary young women's performances on both channels :o)

My fingers are sooooo crossed for Sasha Cohen! She skates like an angel!


Prayer requests for this morning;

LB is having an MRI at 10:00 Pacific time. Please pray for comfort while in the machine and good results from her test. (And for her hideous headache to subside!)

Little Candace is going in for her 9th or 10th surgery in as many days.
May her infection be healed and may her pain be light.


Encourage one another,
Donna
