sunday night.

we waited a few hours this morning
for the snow to start.
and it did,
and it is
snowing still.

we have not left the house today.
we have cooked and cleaned and baked.
napped and eaten and watched movies in bed.
tim has hooked up speakers he found while cleaning out the basement
to the computer,
and now i can listen to jose gonzalez radio on pandora in stereo.
and so leaving the house seems so completely unappealing,
snow or no snow,
especially when coupled with long-cooked chili, and chocolate with salt,
and a little red wine, too.

anna resisted, circling like something to be reckoned with,
my fisher-price toys resurrected from the basement
along with the speakers,
for about half an hour,
and then flew about the house
with the same plane
i flew about my parents house when i was her age
and older.

and still it's snowing,
and still we're inside
still waiting,
but now for it to stop.

but we're in no hurry for that.

best wishes on this sunday night.

xo,
tt
