So you lie awake just singing the blues all night
We lit the candle for my grandfather's yahrzeit: it is ten years now. I have still not seen Richard Barthelmess in The Patent Leather Kid (1927).
Making the third batch of fudge tonight, we had so many egg yolks left over that we made a combination—based on the citrus fruits in the house—lemon, navel orange, and blood orange curd. It's still thinking over whether it's going to set or not, but it tasted fantastic off the spoon.
While looking for some lyrics by Gordon Bok, I found this poem instead: John Straley, "Soul's Crossing." I envy it for The Deadlands.
I meant to post this poem weeks ago, too. I got it from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

It's supposed to snow tonight. I hope so. At least the air smells like it.

Weather.com claims it's snowing here, now; it is sadly mistaken.
ETA, 8:52am: When I went outside a bit later, I found out *I* was wrong, if only technically. A few sad flakes were drifting down, like guests straggling in for a party, not sure if they're early, or late, or if the whole thing got cancelled and they forgot to check their email. It didn't feel like it should count as snowfall.
But as it eventually turned out, the answer may actually have been Early. It is now actually snowing, lightly but with determination. I think the ground may stay yellow, but there is snow on the roofs. We take what we can get, this year and every year.
PS: The Sappho poem is awesome.

It's stuck on the ground as well as the roofs here! Just the yards, not the asphalt, but it's a thin definite salting and I'm very pleased with it. I am hoping it stays through tomorrow.

It makes me so happy.

It was a nice and increasingly rare seasonally appropriate thing to see on waking!

If you like snow, I hope the colors change for the better. It had snowed by morning here, and I am glad of it.

The snow came :-)
A prayer for your grandfather.

I shall admire it from a distance.
The snow came
Here, too! And is still on the ground.
A prayer for your grandfather.
