Haiku 13 + in These titles mean nothing.

Fire and ice, winter
brings us both, fire reaction
to ice’s action.

Nice day today.

Pretty drives to and from work.

Work itself was busy and fairly rewarding. I have friends there. Not huge friendships but good ones.

Life gets easier as time goes by. The things that drove you crazy when you were younger don’t matter as much.

Small things can be appreciated. Bits of conversations. Smiles. Sharing of time and purposeful work.

After bitter cold, mid twenties temps were luxurious. Gracie and I walked. I took some pictures. I bought in some wood.

I cooked brat patties and Gracie’s potato.

Gracie’s potato?

She insisted on having the last raw potato. She of course got it. She insisted on taking it outside. Gracie is a game dog, she has a gentle mouth. The potato was in front of the cellar door this afternoon. In perfect condition, frozen solid. I went out and got. ran some hot water on it… it peeled very easily. I sliced it into the brat patty pan and had it for supper. It was very good.

Here are pictures of ice beginning.

Below is Gracie’s pool.

And here is the creek that feeds it.
