Meanwhile, Melody Muses... 
It does seem like labour at the moment, doesn’t it? (I listen to international weather forecasts on BBC! )
Ah, but the end-product is ever so lovely, and worth all the trouble! It was downright beautiful today. It was my turn for outdoor recess supervision and it was no hardship at all to stand out in the sunshine!!

Yep! We haven’t seen the sidewalk for 6 months, but soon…. 🙂
Those are beautiful ice patterns.
Aren’t they? Potential beauty even in the broken places. Hmmm. Seems to be a recurring theme I see in nature. I wonder if I am to – say, learn anything from it? 🙂
What a great image and poem. Here, our labor is long…and seemingly unproductive. Dear Spring, please spring soon…. 😉
I hear you. Believe me… 🙂
