Snow anyone?

There was indeed plenty of snow this morning. It was hard to tell exactly how much because let me tell you – it howled last night and blew all that powdery white stuff all over the place. No email telling me to stay home so I went in. The roads were as bad or worse than they were last night. In quite a few places the shoulders were plowed better than the lanes… so it was slow going but do-able.

Now the sun’s out and the sky is blue and people are of course going to the mall. Because, you know, what else would they be doing?

How would YOU describe yourself?

OK, I found this on an online dating service. Along with all the normal stuff: marital status, longest relationship, work, zodiac sign and all, they have added two little extra things and one was a drop down with all these choices.

So which are you? I have no idea which ONE I might be, except on a minute by minute basis…

Cipher

what is a cipher?
why are we considering
something that’s nothing?

the big storm

Today cold and bright
the news of storm everywhere
but the night is still.

childhood memories:
windows full of falling snow
a day paused, blizzard.

that edge of worry
knowing it could be a hoax
forecast of blizzard

oh, you weathermen
the forecast of a blizzard
not such a sure thing.

The sleepless night

The past few nights, I’ve had a spate of restless nights. Not sleepless altogether, just often wakeful. All those things are rare for me for which I’m grateful.

Last night there were several rounds of being too hot, too set upon by cats, hearing motors running outside, and then the pièce de résistance and an amuse-bouche.

I don’t know how long I’d been finally asleep when I had a dream where I was in a rather large house, unknown to me. I think there were other people around but none of them stood out to me. Suddenly, there was an ex-husband standing there, holding an expensive-looking tan leather purse as though to give it to me. I refused without any to-do and the scene changed (I don’t remember leaving the room)

The most fabulous part of the dream made it worth remembering though. I had this image that was like a stream of fairies all coming from the same spot, each replacing the previous. It was a like a fabulous animation of fairies coming through a small opening in a wall appearing and then the next appears and the previous one dissolves. It was incredibly beautiful and I was aware of that in the dream.

I have no explanation for any of this, especially the tan purse, but it was worth it for the fairies.
