an impending snowmageddon
had us out in the yard
wrapping up our
autumn chores!
the birds, too,
were scrambling.
some
more than
others.
i'm thinking
these were left behind
(under the bird feeder)
by a cardinal,
who did appear
to have escaped
the same fate.
though it occurs to me
now
the cardinal
may have been
carried off
in the mouth of the winner.
back to sweetness...

| a Christmas rose |
i've been exceptionally slow
on the seasonal activities
this year,
which meant no progeny
around to assist
in the
Hanging of the Festive Orbs
i've expanded to 2 trees
this year,
as the smaller dogwood
is now up to snuff.
then, while we had settled our brains
this happened...
& it just kept snowing!
we ended up with more than a foot!
in my bear-like way,
in anticipation of the weather,
i had plotted out
snow day
meals,
like this one...
basically,
i ate.read.ate.read.ate.read
...you get the picture...
* * * * *
we had put up our tree
the weekend before,
and added lights & the angel
but i was
(refer back)
feeling rather lazy & indifferent
about ornaments on the tree;
however, on snow day three...
well, i decided
to do more than
eat.read.eat.read.eat
