It's Been A Chilly Day

Cold toes. Cold toes. Cold toes.


Cooozy shower...


Cold hair.

The Morning of 1/9/12

At waking time, out the window
The moon dusts the clouds again
With light blue, highlighting puffs

At leaving time, looking back down the drive
The sun in turn paints cloud bellies
With peony and marigold

At school time, strolling east into school
Grey fog blends hill and sky
Shielding directly looking eyes
From the glowing citrus semicircle
The sun peeking over an indistinguishable horizon

Watching sunrises in installments is kind of neat, but I wish I could have watched this one in its entirety. This ended up being more of a "not-so-big rock" instead of a small stone. I thought of letting it be three separate stones (as each view was strikingly beautiful in itself), but these moments occurred in order today and I wanted to put them together.

When Dark Clouds Fade Away...

Sun reflects to moon
Moon lights half the sky
Casting blue gibbous glow
On my window's white sill

Thoroughly Modern Millie

Twenty teenage voices
Complicated harmonies
20's tunes rediscovered
"...and quite adorable!"

They Were "Melt in Your Mouth" Yummy, too.

Six-pointed Ginger stars
Each iced with a different pattern
No cookieflake is exactly alike.

I Thought it was Winter

The mucky snow comes and goes
Green things peek up through brown leaves
Those fallen and matted in October
Can it be Autumn, Winter, and Spring all in one day?

And so the January River of Stones begins! 
Sorry I haven't been doing a lot with this blog in the last few months. I haven't been making time for it. Here's hoping I can keep up with the river all month! :D
