The Year is Complete!

Please feel free to look back through the 365 days of 2010 sunrises, but "a year of getting up to meet the day" is officially completed. There will be no more new posts.

PLEASE JOIN ME FOR MORE SUNRISE POSTS AT THE SUNRISE BLOGGER, WHERE YOU WILL FIND SUNRISE PHOTOS AND REFLECTIONS FROM ME AND FROM CONTRIBUTORS AROUND THE GLOBE.


Thank you so much for visiting.
A one year blog project in which I share a process of transitions: emptying of the nest, reacquainting with my rusty intellect, plowing onward with my first full length book, entering the second half of my first century, and generally reflecting on life.

wintry mix

sunrise:  6:18

I think it was in a children's book, one of the Henry and Mudge series by Cynthia Rylant maybe.  There was a chapter about a day like this one that we're having right now, and it was called "Wet yuck."


A more optimistic description is the one that weather forecasters often use - "wintry mix."



A wintry mix sounds like a party in December, or maybe a lovely pine-scented potpourri, or perhaps some kind of hearty granola.  Would you rather go for a walk in wet yuck, or pine-scented potpourri?


 

Given the choice, I guess I'll take the optimistic point of view (even though wet yuck says it pretty well).
