Gracey-Blue is getting so big as you can see! :-) She is very comfortable and very happy in the snow. It is going to snow all day and night. And as Grizz over at "Riverdaze" pictured and described on his blog - it is hard to discern between heaven and earth as the veiled snow mist blends from the sky to the ground. It is magical and mystical.It is a good day for me to be in the magic and wonder of a veiled snow mist. I need the filters and iced-haze to keep my view obscured. It is peaceful that way, and defies reality. It provides confusion of sorts that has no foundation - rather just a surrender to whatever lies within or just beyond. It lends itself to wonder and waiting and creative imaginings of what lurks in the white iced veiled mist. I am excited by the possibilities. My mind wanders. I am hidden in a tree fort - held up with nuts and dried fruit, water and quilts - no one knows I am there. I am protected and hidden by the very same veiled iced snow mist that covers them. We are so close we could touch one another if we reached just a bit - but we don't dare. Not yet, not today. Today I relax in the veil that covers me - the veil that binds heaven and earth in wonder.
Tomorrow, when the veil falls to the ground, or does it lift to the sky? Either way it will be gone and my view will be crystal clear and I will be rested. Nature provides days like this so we are blinded for a time - unable to 'see' what is right in front of us. Knowing it is there but best left alone for at least a day. Today I am imagining, creating, blending in to the iced snow veiled mist.....

Hi GAil,
Gracey Blue is growing so fast. She really blends in with the snow.
Loved the picture of Niagra Falls. Have you ever been there and taken the Maid of the Mist Ride? I have and as you go under the falls the mist covers your whole body. It is quite something.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Take care.
HI BERNIE
It is still snowing - Gracey-Blue is loving it. In betweebn we snuggle up together and enjoy the warmth, the friendship and the view. :-) Love to you my friend
HI CHOICES-ANNE
I absolutely have taken that ride under the falls - as a kid and as an adult. THe mist is amazing and then noise and the force is intense.
You have a wonde4rful weekend too.
Love to you both
Gail

Love to you

Greetings Gail!
Your puppy looks so very happy!
I guess I needed a "reality check" for I am waaaaaay across the country from you. We're already into Springtime, daffodils and trees are all blooming and we've had two days in a row of rainbows.
Just this past week I released I made it to the Olympics...the Olympic mountains that is. Now to find my hot rollers and engage in some curling competition!
Hi Gail
Your entry on the magic and mystery of mist was lovely. I thought on it while outside this morning. (The snow is thawing here for the first time since Christmas.)
Visibility from here varies, sometimes in really clear conditions we can catch a glimpse of distant mountains, other times we can’t see outside the village. I like your acceptance, even welcoming of this; I’ve never looked at it like that. Thanks.
Gracey Blue has such wonderful eyes.
HI WANDA-
Oh yes, being cocooned with Gracey-Blue is wonderful. SHe is really good company, so loving and calm with just enough playfulness to keep me smiling ear to ear.
HI TRAMP-
I am humbled that my take on the veiled icy mysterious mist was cause for reflection for you. ANd thank you for the glimpse. I am sure the view of the mountains is breath taking.
HI SUE ELLEN AND WELCOME-
Thanks for the lovely view of Spring :-)
And I hope you take the "gold" in the 'curling competition'.
Love to you all
Gail

Yes, Gail that blanket of obscurity that allows for retreat, and then the emergent moment of awakening anew. This a season I know all too well, an interlude that called itself into place. Pleased to have made my way through the mist to be here - always a feeling of love known. Thank you especially for all you bring to APOGEE Poet.
In endearing friendship,
Rose Marie
HI ROSEMARIE-
I am so happy to see you here - I have missed you visiting. And I know you know my heart, my truth and that you embrace it and care for it as I do - I feel it always. "thank you".
Love Gail
peace.....
I never thought of looking at it that way because I usually feel trapped when it snows or when it rains.
Your dog is adorable. I know she must bring you so much joy.
Peace and love,
Pam

awwww. love the dog in the snow. we finally got some snow but it quickly is melting
Pure poetry the way you describe the ebb and flow of your life. Of life in general really. Beautiful.
And Gracey-Blue, again, BEAUTIFUL! That puppy has the prettiest eyes and she seems good-natured in her pictures. She looks great in the snow, like she's very much in her element.
Great video, gave me almost an eerie feeling, thinking of nature, and the power.
Nice post!
Love to you,
Eileen
"The veil that binds heaven and earth in wonder". What an imagery you have painted, and the emotions followed by it. Beautiful thought. Lucky are you, there is snow around you; I have never seen Snow in real :(
But this one gave me the real feel of it, Go on!
HI EILEEN-
