Quote of the day:

"I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure in the landscape—the loneliness of it—the dread feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it—the whole story."

—Andrew Wyeth


Not to mention the dark. Me likes the dark, me does.

Oh, yes. The dark and the rain both. They are tricksy, they are.

(I like sunset myself.)

George said to me, "It's too dark to keep playing. Come inside now."

I could still detect color in the landscape! It was early!

Besides, it's always fun to stand outside with the garden pointer reminding myself what's growing where.

Though what I really remember of dark fun . . . games of tag as a child, in warm twilight and heavy shadows, when the world grows dark so gradually that it's a shock when you return to the house and you look back out and see blackness. You were just out there; the shapes and shadows were known, familiar, shrubs and trees and the corners of houses and the high arch of someone's play set. But from inside, they are gone: all swallowed, all invisible, and what hangs out there in the darkness prickles the nape of your neck and murmurs to your subconscious.
