as you can see we have been getting some snow.
it's very pretty, especially viewing it from between flannel sheets.
with the snow has come some very cold temperatures and icy walking. we are hoping to get out snowshoeing this weekend, we shall see.
this photo is looking out back to the garden shed.
i, for one, am okay with the holidays winding down, so much butta' (butter) (as we say up heyah, (here)) and a bit of ovah (over) eatin' in general...of course, no one is forced into this behavior, but...it just seems so 'right' in the moment(s).

...in the middle of a dark cold night
i remembered that when i was telling the 'pueblo man'
about my own once dodge dart,
the slant six with push button controls,
i called it flesh-tone.
we both looked at our own wrists,
searched and found a thing similar and smiled.
his dart was a station wagon,
blue grey dusty, like my eyes he said.
his were syrup; maple, warm, grade b.
i wanted to pour them onto the pancakes i hoped for later.
watch as each air bubble filled with the sweetness of him...

where more than the earth is holy.
