I woke to an amazing day. Every day up here is pretty amazing, but today was exceptionally so. The air is so crisp. I am not quite sure how it seems to have been scrubbed prior to being placed into the atmosphere, but the air just feels that way up here. It sparkles. I can see mother earth grabbing a handful of air, pushing it into her wash tub and rubbing it really hard on the washboard. Bubbles floating everywhere, a light smell of lemon. Mother earth humming some light tune. A gentle smile on her face.
It has been really cold. All my Texas buddies say it is cold there - and I do understand it is cold there. But it is -18 here. That is freeze gravel to your shoes cold. Freeze gravel to Olive's paws cold. She stands outside with one paw in the air, hoping it will warm up. Changing paws to let another one get a little feeling in it. I stand at the window and watch, giggling to myself.
I have a crow that sits in the tree outside my 1/2 acreage and laughs at me. We will discuss him later!
