bleak and short

by joel

 
the days seem short, especially when there is not one sign of sunshine. late dawn and early dusk, no snow to brighten up the streetscape/landscape. of course there is no slush or wet and dirty snow on the side walks either. but i have to say, i do miss winter to say the least.
when i listen to the news (npr), what i do frequently, i really miss living in the boston area. i miss the snow storms and what they bring with them. here it's just bleak. gray in all kinds of shades, darker and lighter, but grey all over. no snow in the forecast no sunshine either, just under that blanket of clouds overhead.
i was glad naomi went into town this afternoon, together with grandma. the two of them had a wonderful time i do envy her a bit, she went to the yarn store, to pick out wool for crocheting. wonderful and colorful of course it's the artsy girl in the house. now it's up to me to find that crochet hook #8. i have a very nice one and just crossed it's path last week, though now, when we need it it's not to be found!
i have to go and look some more...
