White, White everywhere

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

It’s the first week of spring and all around the land
white stuff is falling on animal and man
Looking for a daffodill to show it’s sunny face
but all I see is white stuff all around the place
Looking for a tulip to open up for me
But when I look around guess
guess what I see?
Will it ever stop?
Will it go away?
Oh well
Guess I.ll put on my coat
and go outside and play.

I think Horizons Bloging is a good thing. I like that I can see what other communities are doing to help improve their town and incorperate some of their ideas to help improve ours.I dislike that I don’t know how to use it as well as I should.I don’t know what ui could do toimprove the experience.
A Pug Mark is a paw print of a tiger and you will find it on Kendreck and Juliaetta’s site.
