Okay, nowhere near this point ... but with temperatures over the next ten days supposedly going into the 30s and even upper 40s, hope is blooming in our hearts. Still below freezing at nights, but, hey! If it's not below zero, we're happy! (Talking Fahrenheit here. For you folks who use Celsius, that means we will be below your zero at night but not the -25 C we have had lately. And it will get as warm as 7.2 C.)
Snow is starting to melt away and more birds are singing. Wintry weather is not likely done with us yet. We often get a heavy snow around St. Patrick's Day. The man got rid of the snakes in Ireland. Why can't he get rid of the snowstorms in the midwest? I remember attending a St. Patrick's Day parade during a heavy snowfall some years ago near Holy Hill. (It is in the Town of Erin, originally settled by Irish before the Germans moved in.) One local resident who had a petting zoo had his animals in the parade. The camel in particular did not look pleased.

Great visual! I hope you see that in reality very soon.
It is beginning to look like Wisconsin is ahead of us here in Illinois. Best of luck with the St. Patrick's Day snowstorm.
I have never met a camel who looks pleased.
Hello, Michael. This is a little unusual, but I'm not sure how else to contact you. I am helping to organize a week-long conference (AUG 11-15) for Carmelite friars in initial formation at Whitefriars Hall in DC. Our theme is "Mary and Elijah in the Prophetic Tradition of Carmel." You have been suggested as a possible presenter. If my email doesn't show up with this post, please call me at Whitefriars Hall. Thanks. Br. Tom
Thanks, Br. Tom, but I will not be able to join you. I am flattered that you asked, however.
Michael
