We have had well over 100" of snow in Eastport, Maine in 10 days in February. Then we had more storms, still in February...snow, snow, snow. The count is rising still for this month of 28 days... but spirits have risen as well. Local folks organized a group of hearty people who 'HAVE SHOVELS WILL TRAVEL' to help many snowbound homes and the people in them.
My wonderful mate, in life, did most of our shoveling ... and I lent support and cheered her on, as I heard her sing the Rocky Theme Song when I could only spot her head rising above the drifts. See mini-slideshow to follow.
My poem for February 2015:
WINTER'S WAY
Escape to a leaner sky
of sun rays and clearing
Tilt this earth
Reel back the season -
It is okay
We've had enough for now
To fill winter's way
For months away, away,
As we lean forward
Into springtime's fling.
