snow is white

everything outside is white. the sky is white, the trees are white, the ground is white. i think the air is white. people are brighter against pure whiteness. coats and scarves and flushed cheeks are bolder and sharper. i wanted to throw myself in the snow today. different ways to say white are: pearl, ivory, bone, vanilla, porcelain and snow. i like white linens, white ribbons, white frosting, and white angels. in other news, there was a fallen icicle on the ground today so big that i couldn’t have fit both hands around it. winter doesn’t get enough credit. there are natural wonders out there!

my food supplies are all unbalanced. i have milk but no cookies. crackers and no hummus. mustard. mustard? mustard. i’m eating yogurt and grape nuts for dinner. i feel like splurging and ordering delivery. pizza with green peppers and some cheesy bread. but it’s not the same when there’s no one to share. i have a tendency to be stubborn.
