indiana territory

Hello, I am back

Yes, here I am. I had to get away for awhile - this blog had just started out too organized for me. I am a rambler, though not a rose. Yet, I do have thorns . . . does that make me a bramble?

God, it was dark here at 7:30 this morning - about a quarter of an hour ago. Finally, the sky has begun to lighten, but it doesn't look like it is going to be sunny. We'll see. One way or another, there will be daylight at the fairgrounds and Sydney will like that.

Of course, today is the day after Christmas . . . and I think I like it better than the holiday itself. It is restful here on the porch with the tree lit up at the far end and tens of nutcrackers standing watch on the the middle sills of the windows. When I awoke I could hear one of the fountains we use to help keep the tree from drying, calling out to me . . . SUUUCCCCK, GASP, SUCKK, GASP, GASP. A little infusion of distilled water - this is Indiana, remember - and it is now making babbling brook sounds.

I am on my favorite corner of the sofa and Sydney is at my feet on a soft, downy throw.

The sky is now a washed out whitish-grey and morning birds are chirping
