boating

I've been driving the roads between my house and the highway, and I have thought of taking pictures, but then I thought, no, I won't unless I get stuck (if I stopped in the wrong place, I thought I might get stuck). I did get stuck one night, and my dad said it would have made a good picture, but I didn't take one. My car was leaning to one side (when I opened the driver's door, it swung out near to the mud puddle). Thankfully my boots were in the car. I had gotten one front tire stuck in the snow on the side of the road. My dad helped, and I got out. Headlamps are great, by the way. I used one when I was digging out.

Last Sunday, I went sailing boats with my dad and siblings. The mud puddles were great. Some of the road is drying up now.

(Hurry! Go to class or you'll be late!)

Thankful

Oh sorry sight that met my eye,
The snow was falling from the sky.
It's March the 3rd, 'tis March, my friend.
When will the snowfall ever end?

Upon a bush, I saw a bud.
I got to walk on squishy mud.
So why still come the snow and cold?
This winter weather's getting OLD!

Content in this? Oh, you are right.
My attitude is no delight.
I must be thankful (for the snow?)
Thankful (inside, there's warmth, you know).

I'm thankful snow will sometime end.
I'm thankful spring is 'round the bend.
I'm thankful snow can look quite nice.
I'm thankful the highway is clear of ice.

I'm thankful mid-semester's here.
I'm thankful that the car is near.
Inside the car more homework waits
(Due on various approaching dates)

So now with peace again in sight,
I'll walk through grey and brown and white.
Homework again, but don't forget
I can still be thankful yet!
