Minus Twelve Degrees!!!

Wow, what a cold spell here in Alienville!
  I am just now able to see  how much damage was done to the plant life from the Minus Twelve Degrees we experienced last week.
Looks as if my Honeysuckle around the property has died and I am wondering about my roses?
  The rosemary bushes don't look too good either.
There will be a lot of pruning this spring and then we will know.
Around town I have seen beautiful cactus just wilted to the ground and also those big century plants hit pretty hard.
So much for global warming.
There is still a coldness in the air today but like the land of enchantment that it is...by Sunday we should be back up to seventy...hard to believe..but after the coldest of days ..warmth does come.

Peace

We all share one thing in common.
Search for Peace.
Those quiet moments in the evening surrounded by friends and there is a quiet knowing that all is well.
"It is well with my soul."
When suddenly circumstances in life throw a curve ball and those which we thought would always be there are suddenly gone. 
Unfortunately too..we all experence another common thing..Sorrow...Sorrow because the time of being near is gone now.
Yet, there is a quiet knowing too, that all is still well.

"When peace, like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll, whatever my lot,
Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well,
It is well with my soul"

Peace to all of my friends today.

Dale, Peace to you, my friend.
