Winter Moon
Art by Kirsty Wither
Looks like my back garden (but most of my garden is trees/woods not so many hills). the moon is or was a super moon. the entire outdoors lights up. hard to fall asleep these nights. the path leads to the woods and G and Riley walk out most every day. the path out in the woods is being flattened by ski traffic and snow shoes. I used to go with but the reactive asthma reacts with cold air. wood smoke from chimneys is worse.
my list of what I can't do anymore grows. I need to look for things I can do.
tomorrow G has appointments and will be gone most of the day. the floors in the house need sweeping or the vacuum. and G has mentioned that the windows in the French doors need cleaning. I like doing both so that will be good. see if the nerve pain goes along with it or makes a fuss.
Big Storm coming. worst that could happen is power failures. the newspeople say most people would not be able to survive 24 hours without power (equals heat). the Ice Storm of 1998 (6 full days in the dark and cold) we had a wood stove. now we have a generator. temps will be single digits. pipes freeze. people freeze. pets freeze. Wind is coming. 50 mph or more. power lines.
guess we'll have to invite folks over who don't have heat. stay warm. stay alive.
got to be tough to live in Maine in the Winter. or something.
