A STUDY IN CONTRASTS
This past week, the hills and hollers of the Ozarks where we live received a measure of the storm that has swept the nation, especially the Midwest, bringing ice and sleet and snow everywhere. We were spared the real onslaught, receiving mostly about a 1/2 inch of ice covering everything followed by an inch of snow. Nothing compared to others.
Our electricity held, our road opened rather quickly, and we were spared much of the wrath that many other people experienced.
In the two pictures above, we see the statue of Our Lady who graces our front steps. In mid-August, she finds herself nestled between rose bushes, a love crepe myrtle bush, and a backdrop of pompous grass. In early February, she finds herself ensnared in ice-laden pompous grass bending down to take a closer look at our Patroness, perhaps even showing a bit of veneration to her as they bend low.
