winter in Iowa

Living In Iowa for a few years I have realized you can not escape, hide from or make snow disapear. So in the times of cleated shoes five layers of coats and non stop shivers here is a "glass half full" look at an Iowa winter.












One little snowflake with nothing to do.
Along came another and
Then there were two.

Two little snowflakes laughing with me.
Along came another, and
Then there were three.

Three little snowflakes looking for some more.
Along came another, and
Then there were four.

Four little snowflakes dancing a jive.
Along came another, and
Then there were five.

Five little snowflakes having so much fun.
Out came the sun, and
Then there were none!

Smile

Some things that make me smile......




One of the secrets of a happy life is continuous small treats.







People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.

All love is sweet, given or returned.






Smiles are contagious.........



A Dream is a wish your heart makes.......
