snow

It is winter.

There is snow, new snow, a fair amount of it.

My winter is running deep, deeper than some years past.

We lost Leon yesterday. He wasn’t my closest friend, but he was a good friend, and his loss is rattling my winter brain.

Tomorrow we go visit family. Usually I get a lift from family. But there is snow and I am pulling a trailer.

We went to church this weekend, it is a habit of my mother’s creation. The pastor droned and I napped. When it was over I wondered why.

But I got a couple orders of garden seeds in the mail today, maybe I can get solace from thinking of spring and garden.

But then again, maybe not.
