After a tumultuous three days this day dawned calm and turned clear.  A deep low pressure system had sat over Iowa all weekend, covering it with thick, grey clouds that ushered in heavy rains.  These swept down roads, filled streams … Continue reading →

Posted on December 21, 2012 by marionpatterson

Clear. Crisp. Alpine glow just touching the tops of trees.  Still.  Snow clinging to trees, shrubs, wires.  The encrusted bell sounded a dull thunk, until I brushed off the snow, then a hollow gong.  Sort of how I felt initially.  … Continue reading →
