Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Today, I will love much.

The snow of February is almost gone.
Hard to believe,
two days of balmy weather,
and my angst is gone,
and I forget how I grumbled.

But the earth drinks up the water
and the buds swell even more
And I feel a renewal,a swelling too,
in my being... to love much.
The sky is blue
the sun is out
I'm going to Galena,my promised land
can't wait to see the fields
and the cows
and the good people that live there

and as the poet Wilcox states above
"Earth has enough bitter in it."
So," love much"

  2. I love your write too much! Here in the high mountain desert, the snow melts, and it is dusty already. Not much moisture in that snow. Not the most beautiful time of the year. Dust clouds hang low. One must look up....dusty New Mexico town.....

  5. I know the feeling: sunny days, balmy weather, then BAM...that snow started
    falling here again yesterday. There is still lots of white outside. It knocked my spirits down a bit but I am trying to be optimistic about the prospects of the sun returning again. Have fun in Galena. Do you own a house there or something? You seem to go quite a bit.

  12. Suz, this is perfection! I remember going to Galena and having that same excitement knowing I'd be in my 'own country' again.
    Did you get snow like we did here in MN?
    Have a great week!
