Beloved,

That was quite a snow storm, the Northeaster.  Here in Wales, we had at least a foot of snow but it might have been more as the wind was blowing quite hard. This has been an unusual winter.  Half the lake was frozen while the other half had moving water. I saw something I have never seen before.  The ice fishermen must have been so eager to get out there that there were ice fishermen out there on the side that was frozen.   If only half is frozen, how safe is the frozen side? There were four groups and one had all the conveniences you would want when it is below freezing. A fancy tent which had heat and a place where you could stay warm. Some tents even have a place to ice fish within that “tent”. They had a snowmobile and also something that looked like half a jeep.  It might have been a closed in golf cart.  The other three groups were the usual ice fishermen weathering the cold but eager to catch the fish so they could throw it back. It was a strange sight to see half the lake frozen with people on it and the other half was actually water. I wish I had a close up feature on my phone but I am not good at taking pictures with it so I just enjoyed seeing the spectacle. Right now, the lake is frozen and covered with snow.

February is a quiet month for any activities and boredom can set in.  With the foreboding pandemic news on every channel, there is not much on that lifts your spirits.  Would you like to hear or read some good news?  Here is an article with news that will lift your spirits. 10 positive updates on the covid 19 virus from around the world in 2021.

A sign of the future from restrictions of the past? A female immigrant who had the guts to stay the course against all odds.  Thank you.

Proof of what can be accomplished when we are forced to isolate. I wish I had his skills with a camera because Mother Nature is so beautiful.  This raises my spirits.

Would you have believed this in 2010? I think the future will hold some unbelievable creations.

This made me laugh. Simplicity and common sense are his hallmarks. It pleases me that his demeanor was picked up by the whole country and celebrated. I love that doll, I knit and crochet but I cannot figure out how she did such a perfect imitation.

This is a billionaire who has a heart as big as his wallet.  He is using his good fortunes to help those of us who could not fight the prescription industry.  Hoorah!

Love and Light
