Snow, Snow and more Snow

It snowed again last night.  And, it stuck.  And, it is still there.
Still, better than what is happening around the rest of the world. 
March 11, 2011, Japan: Earthquake and Tsunami.  Now the unstable nuclear reactor.
The insanity in the Middle East; the gas prices, the price of food, ugh. 
Without my faith, I don't know what I would do.

Talent and more talent

Last night I was at the Piano Bar in Bloomfield New Jersey for Cabaret Performance at Pianos' Bar and Grille, basically to see my very talented niece sing, but I really enjoyed all of the participant's singing.  Each performer was fantastic, but, call me prejudiced, my niece Ariel was the best.
More to come, I am sure.

Last night was the super moon; the "cold hearted orb" and it did rule the night.  Absolutely beautiful.   Yes, we made it through the winter and a very long, cold, snowy, treacherous winter it was.  Driving was a challenge.  Then today, the Equinox.   A beautiful spring day, although it didn't get over 50 degrees. 
On another note, things are coming to a head.  I have to do something, but what, I just don't know.

Yesterday was so beautiful, and today, more SNOW!   Really?   Now Wednesday is supposed to bring more of the white stuff, with tomorrow being in the upper 50's.   I hate to complain, but really?  Seriously, I am so in need of warm weather.   On a happy note, the days are light longer and the river has started to recede. 
Did I mention the fog?  Thick, pea soup fog.  At my neighbor's house it looks luminescent green, too!

A Rant on Daylight Savings Time and then one

They really ought to leave daylight savings time alone.  Hawaii does quite well without it and so could I, and all of the babies and sleep deprived mothers.  Enough is enough.  God is the creator of all time and He really doesn't need the bureaucracy's help.  For that matter, neither do I.   After running around and changing all of my appliances and clocks and watches, I remembered that some of them don't want my help.  Great.  So then I had to go back and change them again. I am convinced that it won't matter if I just make a mental note of the real hour and just look at the time and jump my mind ahead.  Then I wouldn't need to change all of the clocks in the house, the car, the appliances, timers, outside..... and then change them back after a few months, of course, not remembering how each appliance needs to be changed.  Enough.  Leave time alone.  So what if the kids are scared standing in the dark waiting for the bus.  It is only a short time.  Not even the animals like the changing times.  So, stop.  Leave it alone.

Did you see the sky tonight?  I can't remember when the night was so clear.  A ten cent moon over a three quarter town!  There was a planet glowing directly below the sliver of the moon and I saw the constellations so clear, the Diper, Orion, so many more, some I forgot but recognized.  God is in control.  He lights up the night.
