I do smile 
and admire
characters I meet
on my walk down the street.

At last
it appears that the path will lead from here 
on in to winter.

Times may be changing –
I asked Ethan to price a snow blower today.

The 2019 snow globe is all shook up and I 
was not ready.

There is something quite satisfying about winding a ball of yarn.

In spite of all the record breaking warm temps, still
the ice layer comes.

To hang lights in this season of dark feels like the stuff of resilience.

Like yesterday.
and a lifetime.
My baby marked 18 years today.
