for the past few days, snow has been playing a game. it falls in the guise of darkness. as i glance out of the window at night, it lays there, contently. in the morning it is gone, hiding all day until it crawls out again in the evening, spreading across the lawn, sprawling, smiling. i don't know what to make of this winter.
in the daytime, the light is too spring-like. it's still february!
during these snowless days i have been pruning away in the garden. i cut some alder branches with antique blue buds for the vase. that colour never ceases to captivate me, i find myself gazing deep into it sometimes, lost in thoughtless amazement.
another fantastic blue is that of my new fjällräven parka. i love it to bits, especially all the pockets. it was discounted to the point where i had no choice but to buy, even though i couldn't exactly afford to... so i dug into my savings account a little, but i trust that i will get a lot of wear from this garment, i don't think i will outgrow it... and it just makes me happy whenever i put it on. maybe that sounds superficial, but i don't think it is, because i feel it so deeply.
