Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.


Enga mellom Fjella




Sentinel

         Marked
                   as if you own me
I bow before the Bitterroots
and just like you
                   my rocky soil, my withered grass
                   lays prey to the empty sky.

...raccoons.

*Snow5* Just a few flakes out there, mostly in the mountains. Been mild.

*Tempcold* But... minus temps are forecast for Monday and Tuesday. As in... below zero Fahrenheit.

*Santahat* I looked like a bedraggled Santa... so I cut off my beard. Just in time for the snow and cold...

*Leaf2br* When it isn't white here it's brown, not green. Grey over brown isn't as pretty as blue over white.

*Mugg* Lavinia gifted me a tall green travel mug with a tight cap. It works!

Me, myself and I:

Visited Joyce yesterday. She's convalescing from having a defibrillator inserted after dizziness and a fall. It was nice to sit there, watch TV and chat. Plus, the tortellini wasn't bad either. Joyce is very outgoing and this staying-at-home, until the doctors say otherwise, will quickly grow old. So, I'll need to visit again. Soon.

I went out for short walks three days in a row. This is good. It's good for my legs and my spirit. The weather hasn't been too bad... but will be. On my walk today I went to Winter Market and bought Strasbourg sausage and small potatoes for boiling. Plus found out about a website called Vayama (for cheap plane tickets).

Reading... writing... slowly unboxing stuff and even slower at getting rid of it... Oh well.

As for raccoons: Bob, a neighbor of Joyce, has a friend Brian who lives in a culvert. He shares the space with raccoons who chatter if anyone seems a threat. He has two sleeping bags and enough food; although the raccoons... In any case, he has figured out how to live and survive. I can think of worse scenarios.
