Icy Days…

Ice storm number three this year hit Footlights last week,

It was our welcome home from a six week trip to London.

“I’d own up to bringing the bad weather with me,” I volunteered to a friend, “but it was lovely in England when we left!”

I found spider webs coated with ice,

A thorny tree showing off,

and my field of trees glistening in the cold.

Nothing escaped the arctic blast!

I still bundled up and walked the lane amazed at how different nature looks wrapped in ice.

Beautiful in its own stark way.

Well hello there! My name is Vivienne McNeny. I am an empty nester exploring life as a Boomer…you could say I'm happily Boomering along! As a homeschooling Mum I have finally quit the job of role model and mentor to my four children. I do what I want to do, eat when I feel like it, enjoy life with my blue eyed cowboy and clean my house once a month or so whether it needs it or not! In true English form I write about the emergence of my true identity now that I can no longer hide behind my children as their Mum.
