Snow blowing
We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives… not looking for flaws, but for potential.

The male cardinal came around at lunchtime yesterday and posed for me. If I’d known he was coming, I’d have set up the tripod. But I don’t think I did too badly given the distance (and the window) between us.
I’m still not feeling all that well. A little like this:
I’m hoping by tomorrow I’ll be more like this:
I’m heading outside in a little while to meet my daily commitment. I doubt I’ll wander far or for longer than necessary. The sun was out earlier but it’s cloudy now. Light snow is in the forecast for tonight, then a warm-up starting tomorrow afternoon that will bring rain with it. I’m guessing by Monday evening most of our relatively new snow will be gone.
M and I are planning to get up early and go skiing tomorrow. I’ll take the camera along if we do. Perhaps I’ll have something more exciting to blog about after our excursion.
