Daily Haiku
to embrace winter
put the house in order
the mental house too
We are expecting the first storms of the season in the coming week. I have grown to love these sunny days so much - I spend as much time as possible outdoors. A solitary winter has no appeal for me, but as with everything I have done so far, I will take it one day at a time and not project.
It is easy to forget, living in a city, that one must put the house in order for winter. There are perhaps, fewer things to do. I've shut down the swamp cooler and will soon drain the sprinkler system for the lawn. But gathering and chopping wood for the wood stove is something I don't need to do. Thanks for the picture and haiku to remind me to consider this a transition time of getting house and mind ready for cold.
