So much for slowing down in February

A Foggy February Morning
7:45 AM EDT

Here’s the thing, posting every day in January set me up so that every morning I feel that I should be blogging something. 

So, here I am almost every day posting in February. It is a way of talking to folks. That’s weird considering an entire day can go by without me hearing my own voice unless I make a comment  about what’s on the television. 😎

Early this morning it was very foggy out. Warmer, sunny and windy, today also has a thick Spring vibe. After my yearly medical check in I made a few stops feeling good to be out and about. Most of my errands’ making is a drudge with me arriving home exhausted. Not today. If my bad knee was better, then I might go for a walk just to look at mud and windy trees.

Weather is a mood maker. Of course being told I’m not diabetic lifts my spirits. The weather, however, puts me at a hang gliding elevation only achievable on a thermal of Spring.

How is your day going? 

Rainy Autumn Thoughts

The early hours out my window here in Vermont have been mostly dark with rain clouds. A few minutes ago, I saw blue sky. Now, I need to put a lamp on. Outside it is windy and raining again. Once the blustery episode passes, blue skies will return. 

The mood of the daylight darkness stirs thoughts of Edgar Allen Poe, a cozy corner on the sofa, hot chocolate, and a good book (or film). Escaping into the creative literary world is the umbrella we hold over our souls to keep our feelings from washing away from lack of attention. Care for me, whispers to us as the chill, we know is out there, makes us shiver.

I hear thunder. The moody atmosphere builds. I take another gulp of hot chocolate and glance out the window. Most of the trees are at peak while a tall maple shows only the first tinges of gold. I will miss the gray sky when the blue returns.

More thunder. The sky is clearing, lighter, less gray. Branches wiggle instead of sweep through in the air. There is a steady drip sound on the patio. The weather radar says, Hold on there just a minute.
