Began yesterday listening to Jacqueline du Pré and ended it with Peter, Paul, and Mary, after hearing of Peter Yarrow's passing. This trio was Mom’s favorite (Dad's too, although he was more into Phil Ochs), so I grew up with their music and even had the chance to see them live with my aunt before she died. Bittersweet memories, and a reminder of how time keeps moving, taking parts of our past with it. Where have all the Flowers gone? Blowin' in the wind—Still, THERE IS LOVE, joy, and peace for those who seek it.

I also like Puff The Magic Dragon.
Princess Megan Rose Author Icon - That was one of their greats, for sure!
What a beautiful morning it is today! 🌨️ And doesn't Nicholas look like he had a lot of fun? 🐾 Yes, it is snowing, and I know some of you are not fond of that, but I'm not fond of summer either, so we're even. 😎❄️ 🙂 It is the simple things, after all. Now, after that fun-filled walk with Nicholas this morning, a recording of Jacqueline du Pré plays Elgar's Cello Concerto 🎶 and Henry, resting his head on my shoulder, purrs as snow continues falling all around. Remember, if you are affected by this storm, SAFETY FIRST: 🚗💨 If the weather or roads are unsafe, please stay home. 🏠 There may be children playing, teens and adults plowing and shoveling, or silly geese running around out there, like my Bouvier! 🦢

The dog is adorable.
Princess Megan Rose Author Icon - Awww! Thank you. He sure does enjoy being in the snow. Hours later, we are both tired, but at least I am still getting a mile's worth of walking each day.
It's 21°F, with a RealFeel® of -1°F. Snow covers the ground, and more is on the way. Yesterday, my Bouvier des Flandres made a break for it to play in the snow, and in response, I wrote and posted a Haiku ("Snowbound Sprint " Open in new Window.). Today, I tweaked it.

I am a minimalist, but even we sometimes end up with more than we need. Given the weather, I have no plans to go anywhere today and will most likely spend the day relaxing in between purging every room. I have two Keurig machines. Who, living alone, needs that many 'coffee makers'? But, in my defense, one holds more water than the other (and I get tired of refilling it). Still, it's not like I'm constantly hosting guests. One Keurig can go to the thrift shop.

What are your plans for today? Do you think you could even part with gifts and heirlooms and still live a minimalist life? You would still have all the memories. I'll let you know if and when I add another post during the course of this.

Be safe, stay warm, and enjoy the peace and time with your family today.

+Blessings,

Chellé

Princess Megan Rose Author Icon - That, I do know, since my son lives in Ft. Wayne. Stay warm and try not to let the weather steal your joy.
Nice picture! Someone looks like they enjoy the snow.
ßlυҽყҽʐ 🤍 Author Icon - Thank you. That's not my guide dog. I was too busy trying to coax him to come back to me to snap a picture, but he was running around like that.
