6 January



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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  8. You 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.

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.

Moon and stars pour their healing light on you
