  4. Fingers are cold, but not that stiff, Angelika

    Winter or summer --my fingers often move faster than my mind :)

    Good one,
    could see the effect of winters on age...on guard :)

  6. Hi, Leon! Nice to meet you. Did we meet before? However... The year is still young! Good wishes for 2009!

  7. p.s.: I feel better than years before, Leon. My body and soul do like this winter (in the moment we have heavy coldness here with snow, a blue sky -- it`s wonderful in my garden, in the woods)
