Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? Thanks to the always enlightening Judie Stanford for posting this pic – I couldn’t resist making a post just to try out the headline formula.

Out of Their Element
It’s been cold the last few weeks in Mississippi, a contrast to the summer heat that seems more memorable and typical of not only the Delta, but the south in general. Southerners seem confused by cold – it’s not their native environment. The town seems to go into a low-energy hibernation when the temperature drops below 35. Oddly enough, 35 in Northern Ohio is considered uncharistically warm for January, thus skewing my perspective (although by no means am I happy with the cold weather!). So on a night after the first 50 degree day in a few weeks, and the ensuing activity it has brought, I bring you a poem. Stay warm!
Cold in air, slumbering restless south
Infused with confusion, the thaw brings certainty
Moving back into motion, the soul returns
A passing event, the air expected to chill once more
But for a few passing days, life returns to normal
Hoping for the permanence of spring
