Love all the detail... it put me back into my childhood in the snowbelt. Where I reside now is rather...hot![]()
Winter in the woods is one of my favorite things. Thanks for the images.
Why thank you! It's amazing how much you can learn from folks by asking a simple question. I have another like thread simmering in the back of my mind. It's going to be scary I think![]()
An eclectic collection of learned behaviors.
Looking out my bedroom window, I see an oak tree. It's bare except for one or two dead leaves. It's dripping wet because it's raining; there's beads of water on some of the branches.
Calvin: You can’t just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood.
Hobbes: What mood is that?
Calvin: Last-minute panic.
Hi SkullFarmer,
I did grow some herbs once, but my mom is really fond of gardening.
Living room window
I see my back garden, then a link fence, then an apartment parking lot, with a corner of the apartment in it. Then I see one of the cities main roads, then a forest owned by the University.
Naked except for a cigarette, you let your mind drift and forget your disbelief. Feel the chill down your back and the flutter of wings through dandelion fields, and forget the pull of gravity in a night without stars.
I lack eloquence and commitment to my arguments. They are half baked, and I will begin passionately, and then abandon them.
Nice question, I grew mint and parsley and I often make delicious spicy chutney.
My apartment is a one-window affair. The view is pretty much pitch black at this point (here in Sweden it's 1am), but the first thing I can see is a set of window 'candle' lights in a house near my apartment block. In this house lives a really cool cat, who my girlfriend and I have christened 'Butt Cat', as he/she has a tendency to stroll up to us, get rubbed and petted (we are cat freaks), before turning around, taking a few steps and then raising its tail, giving us a view which explains the name.
I actually haven't seen Butt Cat in weeks; seems to hibernate for the winter. I'm going back home to Ireland for Christmas in a week though, so I really hope I meet him/her again soon.
