jopeye weed
in the high-cliff field
as I type the wind is ferociously blowing about this rather tiny
island. The waves on the sound are white-capped and the tide is
coming up on high. the thermometer on the porch tells me that it is
34 degrees Fahrenheit but the wind chill makes it feel like 24!
Later I will dress up with scarf and hat and mittens and walk along
the narrow roads in the sheltered spots of town and stay away
from the blustery coast.
This morning though, I sit in my toasty warm living room sipping my tea and watching
the gusty wind batter the pines to and fro.
I hope to see some of those island images from your walk. Have a great day.

Milkweed not joe pyre weed I think
ReplyDeleteBut I enjoyed your awakening morning
Must be wonder filled living by the water
Nice post
The withered plant looks made of cloth. Though I like winter for its simple and plain appearance, I’d like to stay inside when strong cold wind feels like a razor cutting through the air. Stay warm and be safe.

This reminds me to get outside and take some photos of some lovely dried weeds...even though it's only 11°F outdoors this morning.
ReplyDeleteThat's a rather sad picture !
ReplyDeleteI would like to walk in your island too!
ReplyDeleteBrr I can see through your eyes it sounds cold and blustery. Keep warm...
ReplyDeleteYou are a much braver soul than I. Our weather is cold and windy and I'm staying cocooned inside, going out only when absolutely necessary. Such a lovely photo, great edit.
ReplyDeleteStay warm and enjoy your walk.
ReplyDeleteCreative shot and very descriptive post ~ can feel the wind and taste the warmth of your 'cup o' tea'
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year,

I love the colors and textures in your image!
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is nice to stay inside and watch the weather rather than being out in it. I love the texture in your image. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteOriginal image! Your blog is very interesting, I imagine to live on a small island, is not only interesting, but all a life choice! Very brave indeed. Cheers and stay warm!
