New year snowfall

January 3.

I awake to find it still snowing. Over two fluffy feet perched on the railing obscures half the window.

Where are the cows who strayed in last night to lick the salt on my car? They are gone this morning, their tracks now faint. Did the farmer find them?

The forecast says the snow will continue all day, perhaps to record levels. We'll stay in 'til it ends, with seed for the birds and a pot of bean soup.

The week ahead in Henry’s journal

The week ahead in Henry’s journal
A journal, a book that shall contain a record of all your joy.
"A stone fruit. Each one yields me a thought." ~ H. D. Thoreau, March 28, 1859


I sit on this rock
wrestling with the melody
that possesses me.
