Ten days straight of work, and now this soft day
of sleep and quiet play. Listening to Pandora,
a Baguette Quartette station. Ah, lovely stuff.
There's lasagna bubbling in the oven and a chopped
salad ready for oil & vinegar.

In my dream last night I was swinging from a rope
strung from the upper branches of an apple tree,
and I could go as high as I wanted without bumping
or snagging. Below me were about twenty women,
and I was reciting spontaneous poetry about the joy
of the moment. Awake with exhilaration!

Cheap wine from Whole Floods: sour.

What is there to be said about January,
about winter, that hasn't already been said?

Has anyone said that it sucks?
great dream, T.
ReplyDeleteCheap wine? Shame on you! :-) I tried 2 Buck Chuck from TJ's, and it was terrible. Oh well, sometimes i try to be economical with wine, and it always backfires on me.
Here's something about January: I go through a lot of towels drying off the dogs and wiping mud from their feet.
i can say something nice about january.
ReplyDeletethe daffodils are blooming.
please don't hate me.

Tara, I couldn't agree more on the 2-buck Chuck. Should be called 2-buck crap, IMHO. One of my lifelong quests is to discover great wine under $10/bottle. We now have a personal wine shopper! I know, it sounds very bourgeoisie, but it's not. She specializes in lower-priced Spanish and Portugese wines, and sells by the half case starting at $50. We get the full case for $150, and haven't been disappointed yet. She used to deliver; alas, now we must pick up, but you'll hear no complaints from me!
ReplyDeletehand and spirit -- you obviously inhabit a different planet, and the glow of my envy is surely visible in the night sky!
