    Interesting... I do have pictures of the lovely snow that dumped on us on New Year's Eve, Day, and on to Jan 2... but not sure if I can write about it, unless I'm cursing the shovelling that I had to do.....
  • Hey does 10 yeares of drought count as EXTREME?

    Thank you so much for the Gold ...

    the glitter and the spotlight ... I enjoyed entering this contest, for I experienced such deep and endopathic sensations during the storms in the Western Cape of South Africa.

    Congratulations to the other winners and thank you too to your co-judge, Lissa.

    Blessed be.

    Love
    Myra
