The quiet
of a snowy afternoon overtakes the buzz of an intercom announcement, “The
busses will arrive 30 minutes early…”
2.
The softly falling flakes accumulate to silently
cover everything, in comparison to the “peck, peck, peck” of sleet and freezing
rain.
3.
The aroma of ham and white beans cooking in a
stew pot waft into the den soothing any concern about supper and “picking up
some KFC on my way home from work.”

Listening to Sirius XM Radio rather than “School
Closings” makes for a restful afternoon as I assemble Goodie Bags for
Celebrate Music this weekend.

As the snow event comes to a close, my garage
doors are closed, as they have been since early afternoon with no cars or
trucks navigating the streets and byways.

Cardinals, buntings, and wrens share the bird
feeders alternately taking their turns sitting in the trees, hopping on the
ground, and dining at the buffet set out just for them. Their instinctive patterns have plumped them
up nicely, and they have no desire to gather milk and bread from Wal-Mart
shelves.
In Summary: Spell it R E T I R E!
