Tree branch

 

Reaching lower 

Far out this morn

In the cold  so forlorn..

Stiff temperatures not bending 

Go easy, message sending.

Go easy today.

It will be better.

Finish winter then spring will come on.

We’ll find our way.

Figuring Fahrenheit in the teens

 

Barely,  barely bearable in the teens

Living outdoors offers you little protection from the cold.

A few, maybe four days coming up

They’ll do what they can

Hide where it’s bearable.

They know what is around.

They will do what is necessary 

We’ll help them hide from the weather 

Colding off

 

Days gathered in a pile

A heap of frigid mounting 

Stiff and Snow White stacked

 Bunnies can walk over to nibble sticks 

They will dodge the temperature drop a few days

Then the break will mean less lower mercury 

And what could be a start toward spring.

heart operation

 

Giacomo will have an operation on his heart.

they know what they're doing .

i hope it goes quickly

and is easy on Giacomo.

i want it to go quicker and easier than anyone forecasts.

this is major.

he is so important to so many.

the leader of family and friends is down.

finding the heart of the matter

 

for some reason the rain has stopped.

it is still grey, but absolutely quiet.  no tap,tap, dripping or pounding.

the house doesn't shake.  and there is no traffic; that's normal.

 no running away from anything.

they said we'd have a lot of snow when we woke.

i get to believing the weather folk.

we have to take forecasts skeptically, cautiously.

step by step we fill th day.

i'm reading and writing here.

filling the day.

 

 

like we all do.

Total eclipse of the heart

 

Every now and then

Turn around bright eyes.

April it will be here.

Song by Bonnie Tyler

A piece of chocolate

 

This straightening afternoon of no rain 

Gives the opportunity to take a nap.

Or would you rather be a mule?

That’s a song from the 1950s.

Moving around, thinking of Rome.

Having a good time.

Finding a legal parking space. it’s not too late.

How’s a nap??

Crunched into morning

 

Meri made coffee and said she slept poorly again

The usual for her, I was sleeping 

Black is the outside I see from here.

Football games including Cleveland for today.

can we find a few lines of joy this day.

something to say hi and fine are you.

balance the news and weather

put on my heavt coat and hat and gloves.
