this morning
the world looked like
something you see
in a picture book
about a magical land of winter and
glittery shiny ice...
veiled in a thick fog
with the sun trying to burst through.
i grabbed my phone (no camera with me, boo)
and went for a quick and somewhat cold walk
mesmerized by the bright white of the trees
and the frost covered weeds...
it was perfect.
the air smelled like woodsmoke
and faint exhaust fumes
(which, if you know me, you will know i
love the smell of exhaust fumes
almost as much as the smell of woodsmoke).
it was perfect.
i climbed a snowbank
in my work skirt and purple docs
so that i could take the photo of the
two perfect rows of trees above...
it was worth the possible humiliation
of falling off the bank into the middle of Duke street
on a busy Tuesday morning.
on the walk back, my hands tingled
and i got little chunks of road salt
stuck in my docs
and my eyes watered from the cold
and still...
it was perfect.

i popped into the liquor store
to pick up some cold shots
for my husband today.
somehow
i got my thumb
stuck in the box.
"well...that's a first"
the cashier said as
she helped me wrench the box
off my hand.
she thought maybe it was a flaw in the
packaging.
i suspect, however, it was just me.
