Frosty Flint To Silver Down

Dear Friends,


This week was frosty gray.
Like flint.
Like the wind rattling the window panes.
Like the grinding of my teeth as we spend another day imprisoned.
Indoors.
At home.
Like a fortress.
It was gray.
Cavalier.
Like my relationship with winter.
A thoughtless fling, all engrossing but in a wink it‘s lasting much too long.
Like a wish to hibernate until Spring.
Like settling for nap with my baby instead.
Like my favorite yoga pants.
Gray.
Soft.
Like silver down.

Love,
The Prairie Hen in NE

  3. Of course--I suppose they might be trying to be "original" (??!) Or--Maybe they got it from This: http://www.fortrace.com/Page/Index.aspx
    But I'm not really sure what that would have to do with the whole color combination.... Look/feeling.

  4. This colors my world today(or should I say month) too. Thank goodness for the white the falls around to keep the gray company.

  5. dear Mid~Winter~Feeling,

    I am ready to break~out the Vitamin D. I thrive on the sunny outdoors....and it has been so....NOT...here of late.
    Texas? Florida? Here we come!
    Thankfully, there are projects like finishing my room, and scrapbooking that involve COLOR, and creative activity right?

    love,
