Goodnight friends! An early start and early slump for me – took a morning walk, made lunch, but as the day dimmed and cold deepened my early expenditure left me feeling hollowed out before the onset of afternoon twilight. Got into a little writing in the evening.
A glassy, splendid start. Mesmerising blue, grass sparkling and white with melting frost. Lax golden heads of birches and aspens swayed and tossed like clouds of polished butterflies. A low line of clouds barely glimpsed behind the aquamarine pines slowly drew across the sky after midday, and the already scraping chill grey harder and heavier.
May we recognise and celebrate the efforts we make for modest as well as grand purposes today!
