Screaming down the flue, groaning in the eaves, rattling the windows, intruding in my dreams, wind blasts against the house. Shivering, I rise silently in indigo light to watch another chilly dawn. (The color rose doesn't always portend warmth.)
I ventured outdoors to downhill ski both yesterday and today. Windchill made riding the lifts uncomfortable even though the sun shone and the sky was blue. We'll take a break from the wind by spending the weekend in the city. It's supposed to be in the 50's. Yippee!
i felt the chill in your opening words. :)
ReplyDeleteWe're supposed to get some of that warmth too this weekend - yay!
ReplyDeleteBalmy 50s!! No- the rose colored sky does not portend warmth, does it? Have a good time in the city.
ReplyDeleteI'm shivering now. But the light is just stunning.. especially in the second image. Beautiful post card scene.
ReplyDeleteFrom your cold to the searing heat experienced by the tennis players at the Australian Open, they would welcome some, a little of your cooler air right now. Love the photo with sky pink, not giving any heart but that beautiful colour for such a short time. Enjoy the city and all it has to offer, greetings from Jean. p.s. snow to 700m in Central Otago today!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you described the wind. I could feel it. Enjoy your reprieve. And be careful of the windchill - you don't want frostbite!
ReplyDeleteI realize it is terribly cold...but, oh my, what beautiful "indigo" and "rose" light to go with it. Hope you balmy days in Denver are just what you need...pleasant dreams.
ReplyDeleteFunny to think of 50s as a warm spell; that's chilly for us. Hope you enjoy, though! Sounds like you could use a break.
ReplyDeleteIt might be cold but it is beautiful However,wind sure takes the fun and appreciation out of the cold. Glad you have a place to go that will give you a break. Enjoy the warmth.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend in the warmth (which is definitely relative)! We find the old saying 'red sky at morning, sailors take warning' to be true quite often.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of the sunrise and beautiful descriptive words, Barb. Enjoy your warm week-end!
ReplyDeleteYou nailed it Barb! Nothing worse than those bone-chilling winds!
ReplyDeleteI remember well those lift rides up the mountain slopes in the FREEZING wind......but forgot everything on the way down.
Have a good weekend.
My ignorance of "cold" where you live is bliss to my eyes looking at your photographs. Beautiful!
