driftwood
seeking the beat
to soothe my soul

Crabs reminding me
Time does not wait

Is a disaster yet? — Sat & Sunday

Things did not improve. In the mid-afternoon, there were some rainbows, but no sun breaks. I finished reading something that had been on my TBR list for over a decade, “Moll Flanders,” by Defoe.

          Shiny bow
          In a dismal sky
          God's hint

          Yet they withhold
          No sun disclose

Is a disaster yet? — Sat Morning

What a wild night: rain, sleet, hail (light), and snow. I woke up to a light coating of snow everywhere. This was the last morning I didn’t need to take shelter while I ate breakfast and had my tea.

Snow to sleet
Three Beargrass plume
White to white

imagine
coming all this way
just to be left alone

Solitude of man
Company of beasts

Friday Part III

That was the last of the “decent” weather, and the rain slowly turned to sleet and then to icy snow. The weather threatened to improve come evening, and I got a lovely sunset reflected in the east.

It lied, and the night was interesting. More on that tomorrow.

Friday Part II

We moved to mixed clouds and periodic sprinkles. It was nice enough to go flower viewing before I had to retreat to the car to read "Experimental Film" by Gemma Files and "Turn of the Screw" by Henry James.

          Roadside bloom
          Mixed sprinkles
          Forest dew
