Quothe the Raven, "Nevermore"
Today is a cold day in Otter. The thermometer read 22 degrees when Dick came
over to the house at 5 am to get things rolling and to turn the heaters on to warm things up before Gladys wakes..
9 inches of snow is forecast for the next 24 hours. The water in the rain barrel outside
the house is frozen.
Gladys is optimistic.
"Ain't that a fine prospect having it snow, a fellow could get cold if
it keeps going like this," she says.
Gladys loves to say her pieces and she just adores Edgar Allan Poe.
"He's a bit of a depressing fellow but he sure can write good stuff,"
she says launching into the reciting of "The Raven". Her face gets
very animated and her voice deepens. The room gets quiet as we
listen to her recite the lines...
