Soft to the touch, I reach back and fall down

[sovay]

It is snowing on our street! Lightly, vaguely, and in the damp way where it turns to meltwater as soon as it touches street or steps or car hoods, but I believe it to be our first snow of the year. I can't pretend our planet isn't on fire, but I appreciate that at least some of the seasons are still trying to feel like themselves.

I feel awful but appear to be writing fiction, slowly, for the first time in months. It's not necessarily relevant, but I like this digital painting: "Lament of my Second Heart." Also I will have to listen to this album, since it was inspired by Le Guin's Gethen: Gavilán Rayna Russom's The Envoy (2019).

I'm so sorry you're still feeling awful. But I'm glad about the snowfall and the fiction writing.

Thank you. Now I just need to accomplish some movie writing . . .

Yay snow and fiction writing! I hope you feel better soon. (Predictably, I now have snow envy.)

Does it snow where you are? Or do you just get the other half of the Robert Frost ice-and-fire?

Snow here is so uncommon as to be considered a freak event. (I have never experienced a snowfall in my life, though I have seen blobs of snow on the ground when driving to Las Vegas in winter.) Hail is a lot more common here. Occasionally we'll get graupel.

Wow. We do not often get graupel or hail.

I kept looking out the door today and thinking there was snow, but it was only the concrete bench in a little indirect sun. I wish it would snow.

I'm sorry you feel awful. I am excited that you are writing.

That seems monstrously unfair. I hope you have real snow soon and not just concrete.

I'm sorry you feel awful. I am excited that you are writing.

Thank you.

Hurray for writing fiction again!

And we saw some flurries out this way, too.

Thank you! I want much more time for it.

Oh, nice.

Aw, I'm very sorry about the feeling awful ♥ Although snow and writing are both something, that is true.

I love that painting too!

And congratulations on the writing.

I love that painting too!

I feel kind of like I should write it something.

And congratulations on the writing.

Thank you!
