• Warm Colors,
      Cold Temps
  
  As usual, I missed the most intense sunrise colors this morning because
  I stopped to put on my boots.  It’s too slick out there on the
  packed snow paths and in the icy street for my house slippers. 
  I’d slip fershure.

  Still, I caught some pink.

  

  Maybe
  it’s because I’ve become accustomed to the beautiful winter sunrises,
  or maybe it was just because I hadn’t taken time to put on gloves, hat
  or coat, but the scene that looked best to me was the one as I turned
  back toward the house:  the smoke from the chimney, and the two
  new snow tools still on the roof rack of my car.  (See, Ren, I
  didn’t spend the gift on boots.)  I bought Doug a new roof rake to
  replace the old one that broke, and at his request got a big ergonomic
  “sleigh shovel” for our driveway and the flat roof here.

  There’s a lot to tell about our trip to town yesterday, and maybe it
  will be told sometime.  Maybe not.  I have things to do here, work to do on KaiOaty,
  and a houseguest to feed and entertain.  Right now, Koji is
  “entertaining” Seph.  They’ve both fallen asleep across my
  bed.  Seph was giving Koji a belly rub and sleep just seems to
  have slipped up on both of them.
