On the frozen pond.
A squirrel skitters around.
And I wonder:  "Why"

Books help me make sense
Of the world I live in...but
These days don't quite fit.

27 January 2019

A winter sunset,
The sky seemingly on fire.
And the ghosts of trees.

24 January 2019

The pond is frozen,
The geese and ducks are elsewhere
On this sunny day.

21 January 2019

A steady drip...drip...
From the eaves, as yesterday's
Snow melts slowly off.

18 January 2019

Midafternoon and
The snow has melted away...
And the geese return.

17 January 2019

The snow is melting.
Icy sidewalks turn into
Cold, icy puddles.

16 January 2019

A cold, gloomy day;
Snow turns to slushy puddles
Grey skies chill my soul.

Broad Ripple Park, Indianapolis)

14 January 2019

9 inches of snow
Cover the car and sidewalks...
Think I'll stay at home.

12 January 2019

Snow is still falling,
Bleaching color from the world--
But not completely.

11 January 2019

In the streetlights' glow,
Drifting so slowly downward,
A cascade of snow.

8 January 2019

Nearly gale-force winds--
Clouds racing in the sky, we
Bend into the wind.

5 January 2019

A warm, sunny day,
With geese napping in the yard;
I'm napping inside.

4 January 2019

In bookcases or
On tables or on the floor--

Books, books, and more books.

2 January 2019

Old, tired, achy,
I take myself off to bed.
Just maybe I'll sleep.

1 January 2019

Fireworks and hard rain...

Not a good combination.

But that's New Year's Eve.
