DECEMBER IN VERMONT Words and music by Diane Zeigler 2004 .
When the snowfall lays her cover The silence can pull you under And that shroud can make you wonder How you'll make it through But on a night so cold and long I know how a heart stays strong You can travel all the earth To find out what a place is worth
Chorus: Oh, where would you rather see Snow on the evergreen Softly and tenderly falling down Songs on the solstice sing Prayers for the traveling Ever returning to December in Vermont
See the blazing yule before us Strike a harp and join the chorus But do you see the folly When everywhere the sounds implore us To deck the halls and ring the bells Calling everyone to buy and sell But through the crowd and through the noise May you know a greater joy
(Chorus)

We had a dusting of snow by suppertime. Here's our overnight forecast:
Tonight: Occasional snow or snow showers, tapering to flurries overnight (coating-1" in valley, more in the hills). Icy spots late. Lows: 28-32. Winds: Light. Thursday: Overcast with some flurries and a snow shower possible in the valley (additional coating possible). Highs: 32-36. Winds: W/SW 2-12 mph. First Warning Meteorologist Rick Sluben
Reflecting upon the hubbub over the Senate's CIA torture program report, I find it most strange what becomes "news" and when. Now we have swarms of poseurs who are SHOCKED, SHOCKED, I SAY! over what anyone with the brains God gave a goose knew long ago. A cynical person might observe that many of the politicians who profess shock were among the ones who approved and enabled said SHOCKING! behavior. The Holy Inquisition gave up torture centuries ago because they realized it didn't work. And how many times have we seen it proven that few "secrets" remain so? The chickens WILL come home to roost. As Justice Brandeis wrote, sunshine is the best disinfectant, as the electric light is the best policeman. There is a lot of disinfecting to be done in the US government.
Howard is filled with good sense.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're home safe and sound, Bill♥
Listener, that skit is very cute!
Thanks, Cat! :-)
DeleteWe're up to 6" of snow now, and the lights have flickered again. Hmmmm….
DeleteThanks, Cat. Trying to get back in harness.

When the snowfall lays her cover
The silence can pull you under
And that shroud can make you wonder
How you'll make it through
But on a night so cold and long
I know how a heart stays strong
You can travel all the earth
To find out what a place is worth
Chorus:
Oh, where would you rather see
Snow on the evergreen
Softly and tenderly falling down
Songs on the solstice sing
Prayers for the traveling
Ever returning to December in Vermont
See the blazing yule before us
Strike a harp and join the chorus
But do you see the folly
When everywhere the sounds implore us
To deck the halls and ring the bells
Calling everyone to buy and sell
But through the crowd and through the noise
May you know a greater joy
(Chorus)

And we still have power {knock mahogany}!
ReplyDeleteJust cold and dreary and gray and cloudy and cold and dreary.
ReplyDeleteWe're supposed to get some rain Friday...allegedly significant. The wild grasses are growing nicely.
