Mornin... Pills in.. Getting coffee.. Got it... Ahhh.. 32egrees and cloudy.. High of 35. Cloudy. A little wintery mix. Low of 29 tonight.. Breezy with snow at times.. Waiting for the snow... Looking forward to it... A bit of ice on the puddle at the end of the drive. The lawn is a crispy green. Brown lilac leaves are strewn about. Crows are on silent wings. The rooster call from across the road. Jays in the lilacs. Thinking about cookies and a warm sweet smelling kitchen later on in the day.. Still moving slowly and using my cane.. No major tinges. Just keeping movements minimal. The boy and his dog still sleep. I sit here in the stillness of the day. Im still not use to a house that hums and provides steady warmth.. Rocky has come down and rattles his full dish of food and water.. Hell be here with a wet muzzle soon.. Woofing in his calm and inside voice to let me know he wants out. Im in no mood today.. Get your boy and make him walk with you. Right now its a bad movie day.. No rapping, tapping upon on my door. Warm blankets upon the floor. Have to check the oven and a timely mouse trap that Bets has put in.. 5 cats and one mouse... Go figure... Your time will come. Thinking of the years in the cold and wild here. White winter weasels chirping at me in complete defiance of the food chain. Errant possums and raccoons living under bath tubs. Frozen foods on the kitchen table. Hauling water from frozen wells. Cutting trees for fire wood. Oh where have the good times gone. Yes the house hums. Reminding me of a simpler time here. Hard but comfortable in our strife. Easily satisfied and free... Yeah right. I guess Im the only one who misses it now. It will never be the same. The homestead is just what it is now. No longer the complete complex of never breaking chores just to stay warm, clean, fed washed and clean. I think I miss me more than struggle that sort of set me free.. I like the old me better...Or at least the concept of what it was.. Or maybe I just miss me.. A different time.. Another feat... Keep your powder and Tabaco dry.. Love me tinder. Share the love and peace today... Put another log on the fire.
