We left Thursday afternoon to head north to our cottage. It was raining lightly but steadily and kept raining for the next 100 miles or so. We knew there were predictions of a pretty good snowfall and we were moving quickly to beat it.

You have a way of writing that focuses ones mind to a specific time, day, hour or minute. You force your reader to momentarily forget about world or personal issues and reflect on intimate inner thoughts and complexities of the mind. Don't stop writing and sharing.

Melcoulter is scanting and I predict she will be a star on Newsvine. She presents good information, insight and personal comments in an interesting and polite way. I try to read each of her stories and would advise everyone to put her on your watchlist.

You've been tagged !! Tell us 8 things about us that we don't know. :-)
What can you say about Mel, that she won't get me back for later... kidding!
Mel is one of those people that proves blonds have more fun, and then disproves the blond jokes. She can work the finest nuance out of a story and isn't afraid to dig deep within herself to share her thoughts and feelings.
Green not blue, green not blue, green not blue...
Melc-
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your first several posts. You write with a great self awareness and present your thoughts in great symbolism and analogies that make it easy for the reader to understand your points.
I look forward to more of your works.
