I keep waking up thinking that it is going to be sunny and 65 degrees outside! I am ready for Spring and most importantly, Summer!

Growing up in Georgia, I am not used to feeling the cold, wet chill of snow and ice. I know we Atlantans have had our share of snow days and wintery ice storms, but I can’t recall in recent memory a winter like this one…brrr!

You know the old adage: if you can’t fight ‘em, join ‘em. So, with camera in hand, I set out to grab a neat photo or two of the winter creations. I am no photographer, but I thought this one was pretty cool. It is of my front porch downspout that I ordered online from Target. It’s very pretty when the water cascades down it, but Old Man Winter took it a step further. I guess even though winter can chilly you to the bone, it still has the undeniable ability to inspire.

This week has shown us a tragedy beyond recent compare. With the death toll rising and supplies becoming scarce, if not already depleted, thousands more might perish. For time is of the essence for these helpless folks.

With the outpour of relief available to make donations, I went on-line to see what programs were out there to help in getting aid to this desperate country.

Here are just a few:

Doctors without Borders
www.doctorswithoutborders.org

Catholic Relief Services
www.crs.org

Samaritan’s Purse
www.samaritanspurse.org

The American Red Cross
You can make a $10 donation that will be added to your mobile phone bill by texting the word HAITI to the number 90999. Once your text has been sent you will receive a verification text, free of charge, asking you to confirm your donation.

Please copy and paste this info to an email if you like to send to your family and friends.

God bless those in Haiti and anyone who is suffering today.

Thanks,
Jodi
