Duchess of Weaselskin

Our weekend in Southwest Colorado Rockies has been snowy and it was still coming down with that white, fluffy snow in between the sun trying to break through the clouds this morning, but by afternoon we had sunshine. We measured the snow stump this morning at 8:45a.m. at 8-½ inches since last evenings accumulation. Nothing like New England's Nor'easter, though.

"Two Wolves" by Unknown Indian Author

An old Indian Grandfather said to his grandson who came to him with anger at a friend who had done him an injustice: "Let me tell you a story. I too, at times, have felt a great hate for those that have taken so much, with no sorrow for what they do. But hate wears you down, and does not hurt your enemy.
