At this time of year, I'm with Robin, and 'I contemplate the weather
usually through two pains of double-glazing. The weather and I are on but
nominal and nodding acquaintance.' The reason for this is what is called
unseasonable cold. This morning it's a bit cloudy, & the snow is still
scattered across the ground, thick where the shadows hide it, gone back to
iced green lawns & slippery concrete elsewhere. Full moon shone through the
windows when I got up this morning, & you can see your breath when you step
outside.
On the other side, we take the concept of Big Sky seriously here, & I live
for the variety of sunsets we are given...

the lies
like the petals
falling drop
