Observation - May 2nd, 2017, Tuesday

Observation

It is 4:00 am, and dark in the morning
The house is cold and quiet
It is wet outside, after days of rain
And snow

Kitty is curled up on the back of her chair
Her white chin resting on her white paws
I can hear her breathing
The low rumble as she shifts and turns
She ignores the news cast I am watching
More interested in the clicking of my fingers

Observation - January 2nd, 2017, Monday



Observation

It is 4:00 pm, and the rain is freezing.

The rain covers everything in a thickening layer of ice, a slurry of slush and snow.

It was warm today, but the temperature is falling, dropping below zero.

There are people outside, they have no shelter.

Some will not make it through the night.

I am warm in my house.

My cat does not give a care for the world, except to see through the window a bird, a rabbit, or a squirrel.

Observation - January 1st, 2017, Sunday



Observation

The Vikings are winning the football came.
I listen to it on low; it is only the second quarter.
The streets are quiet at 1:00 pm.
My lady is reading, sitting in my place on the couch behind me.
The sun was shining earlier, the day is overcast now.
The soft gray light blankets everything outside.
It is the first day of the year.
