January Lingers It Makes Me Sad
I long for the cold to wave goodbye
January Lingers makes me sad
January lingers, cold and gray,
Summer feels so far away.
The days are short, the nights are long,
We dream of warmth where we belong.
The sun will shine, the skies will clear,
But now we wait for that time of year.
Though winter stays, we hold on tight,
Summer’s promise will make it right.
Sitting outside, the sun on my face,
Happy people all over the place.
I love summer, please understand,
Summertime, I wish it was at hand.
January’s chill will soon melt away,
And bring the warmth of a brighter day.

Vehophobia
There are over 40,000 deaths from car crashes annually in the United States. . When I was a sophomore, a senior girl died in a car accident before graduation. Years later, I saw her family on a ghost hunting show. They made all this equipment to try and talk to her, and they preserved her room exactly the same. The accident was with a tree. I heard the car was crushed like a tin can.

GRANDMA NELSON
Daddy pulled off the interstate, and I saw the all familiar red barn, and I knew we had arrived at Grandma Nelson's farm. I always had mixed feelings about seeing my Grandmother. It seemed she had as many Grandchildren as the old Mother in the shoe nursery rhyme. I saw her as different, but that is not why I hestiated. The truth be known I always got in trouble at her house, and ended up sitting in the car after I had been scolded.

I hope that the year bodes well for all of us, though January is a little reflective! Beautiful, Georgie.
Yes, it will but I hope not too fast for I like the winter for it gives me a short respite before humidity strikes again. Good job.
