food, nature, weather

darker than usual

Daylight Savings hit –
it’s not yet 6pm
and the porch light is on.
it’s been raining all day
and all i can think of
is hibernating . . .
just after this hot chai.

what do you do on
dark rainy days?

food, humor, nature, photography, weather

lights are on and stable captain . .

oh – and not a moment too SOON!
and this toilet situation, i will not go into detail
but i’m glad we’re back to civilization
let’s just say we had follow camping rules for flushing
as it takes a lot of water to do so: yellow mellow, brown down.
i now understand why my cats get ornery if their litter box isn’t up to par . . .

first thing i did was make a hot cup of vanilla chai
and some buttered toast since i couldn’t before –
all the things i can’t heat and toast without power.

and if i had to eat one more can of
Orange Pseudo-Spaghetti Italian Nitemare
with Scary Soy-Cow Meat Forms,
i swear i would’ve set something on fire . . .
with my little propane stove.

but mind you – in all this adventure
i am appreciative of Mother Nature,
because hey – she’s no bullshit,
and she knows how to get your attention
and boy does she make for a wicked macro,
i know that i became very up close and personal
over the last 6 quiet and dark days
and i mean in more ways than photography.
