Well ... this is 3/4 days after the frostbite for my daughter, last nite, her ears still sore, but her thumbs were still very sore.

Poor kid and lucky kid ... -47 with windchill. Last nite the news said it was (Wpg?) -51 with windchill ... and at that it takes 2 MINUTES FOR SKIN TO FREEZE! God. Impressive mama nature.

I worry about my daughters hands. She's musical. Has perfect pitch. Plays piano by ear, and guitar now too. Her LOVE is music. Mine too, but Inever didanything with it. It dried up. However, her dad is VERY accomplished and versatile ...so it runs in the bloodboth sides. My side not masters tho Think fiddles and jigs reels (Rupertsland roots )... guitars and voices. No training or pretentions COOL, just one heckuva a great time.

Hands ... the other perk and eye opener my kid gotwhat she couldn't use, and feared losing her hands was ...... EMPATHY for my rheumatoid arthritis and tendonitis when i can't care for myself or do simple things like grip knife to slice soft butter, open doors, dress, lifta cup, whatever...argh... SHE GET's IT now!

Natures little lessons... and what has nature taught YOU?
