Sweater Weather

Sweater Weather.
The time when the air is crisp and cold, but the snow has not yet fallen- 
when I see an abundance of styles-
wool,
cotton,
fleeces, 
patterns of diamonds, hearts,
and intricate flakes of snow, 
skiers and mountains, 
pale colors, dark, deep colors- even neon, or sometimes pastel-
such a wonderful diversity, I see in sweater weather. 

Sweaters show personalities-
flashy, bold- that person must be confident!
or perhaps detailed,
carefully sown- I guess they have an appreciation of beauty!
Before you even know their name, a persons sweater can tell you so much about someone. 
But that's not all!

Sweaters tell a story-
perhaps one has symbols, patterns- what could they mean?
They are there for a reason, I think...
or maybe pictures that tell a story, 
or even holes ripped in the soft wool, worn from years of age- passed down through generations, I'd assume- I wonder who wore that one- perhaps royalty! 

Sometimes I think that sweaters are like people-
all different,
yet the same in many ways.

  • November

    A day as grey as

    the clouds above it

    And the hills, which have changed from green to orange to purple to a deepest blue in the fading light

    with a few bursts of yellow from the beech trees, holding on in their marcescence

  • pondering

    If life is full of the little things

    like skating on smooth black ice and laughing with a friend

    then I have nothing to look forward to

    because there is good in every day.

  • Dear Mother

    Dear Mother, 

    I have missed you these past few months. 

    Where did you go? 

    I see you standing there, torch held high, yet you do not answer my calls.
