The words of Verlaine circle me and pull me into his space. I was too stormed in today to notice the turning though. <br /><br />My brother and I have been out shoveling snow all day. It will probably take the whole other half of the winter to melt all of it away. <br />Did you get the storm? TDSB (unbelievably) actually had a snow day.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this Steven. It gives a special feeling to an otherwise very busy day. =DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241402645242821612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-25514108729912324872011-02-02T18:08:11.425-05:002011-02-02T18:08:11.425-05:00dulce thankyou for the lovely words!
