What a difference a day makes


Changes in the weather are the reality here. February from Aquarius to Pisces (before the 21st and after the 21st of the month) have been ... well, just as pictured here. One day, the sunshine and balmly weather brought the lawn chairs out. Tucked against the south-facing wall of the golden wagon when the North Wind blew it was a day for reading books with noise-abating earphones in place, feet and legs in an out-stretched position. 

What a difference a day made
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain
My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm a part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine
Lord, what a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss
That thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you

 Same chairs, different weather. We are bundled in layers as the sun begins to warm the sparkly, crunchy snow. How resilient are we? Mostly able to make the adjustments thanks to red rubber boots, long DuoFold underwear, a big red coat, a long flannel robe and a sweet golden wagon for two insulated and heated (we are grateful for electricity!).
To get from the cozy futon to the kitchen, and then to the heated bathroom means taking the hundred steps outside. "It makes you stronger," Pete suggested as I stood at the hotplate making oatmeal. Right, I think he's right really. Just how much stretch can you take to get stronger is a particular measurement for each of us.

I find the adjustment needs a one-day-on-one-day-off approach. One day outside. One day outstretched on the futon. It has something to do with those spoons. How many spoons available today? What a difference a day makes.

Sending warm wishes to you on a snowy February on the Prairie Front!

  1. Nice, pictures and I see the little moon in the tree top. We are still socked in up in Greenbank.
