WEATHER I

In studio all day watching the snow disappear outside the window.
Rain and more rain has melted the snow to slush
I love the cleanliness of snow, yet most would rather not have the "inconvenience"!
Hey - ITS ONLY WEATHER!!!

of the maps faces are, of the inside wear and tear.
I take to faces that have come far. ..........."
