News Alert: UK becomes part of Antarctica



My husband is worried about my Clustr Map. He's an Air Traffic Controller, so Stress is his middle name-- but his concern about my map could be too much.
He mentioned today that IF some scientist in Antarctica were to read my blog, he wouldn't show up on the map. I wouldn't be able to say that I've had readers from all seven continents.
Well, I've been outside today and I've watched the news. The freezing fog we have now, is supposed to come in (which infers that it will first go away) with a vengeance tonight and it's suppose to be -6ยบ.
Do I really need Antarctica? I mean, I'm practically living there already.

Today's art project....

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday




White Fog by Sarah Teasdale

Heaven-invading hills are drowned
In wide moving waves of mist,
Phlox before my door are wound
In dripping wreaths of amethyst.

Ten feet away the solid earth
Changes into melting cloud,
There is a hush of pain and mirth,
No bird has heart to speak aloud.

Here in a world without a sky,
Without the ground, without the sea,
The one unchanging thing is I,
Myself remains to comfort me.

Gotta love the Military...

The hubby is STILL not home. The contracted bus that was supposed to bring him on the 15 hour journey home apparently broke down before he ever got on it. At this point, you'd think the Air Force would just put these tired, homesick folks on one of the many military planes flying straight here, but no-- that's not how it works. Instead, they waited around for a few hours and now are slated to arrive around 3 or 4 am. That wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have 5 kids here and his drop off point wasn't an hour away. But, since it is the busiest traveling day of the year in this part of the world and there's freezing fog scheduled (freezing fog, it's amazing to see), I am not even getting worked up over this. I figure I'll pick the man up tomorrow.
And just for your enjoyment,
here's a shot of normal fog on our
little country road.
Do you see the horses?
