Junco at the feeder

I know

the windchill is -14

You know

where you slept

and

how you stayed warm

 

Downright revolutionary.

Who knew that lined pants are the answer? I never realized that if I’m cold, I should keep my legs warm. I have been living by the old sailor’s adage: if your toes are cold, put on a hat. Instead on putting on a hat and vest, the heat generated from the legs moves upward (of course) and warms my core. Lined pants. Now I’m a believer.

It is a Mary Oliver night

The shrunken apples

on the tree

Are covered in fresh snow

I see snow blowing

Gently as I look out my window

Into the night.

Thanks for joining me!
