The Thaw Day One

I’m going to document the January thaw that is predicted to occur over the course of the next week. I’ll be taking a photo from the same locations at 3:45 every afternoon. Today is January 4th, day one.

I’m putting the rest of the pictures in the coppermine.

Mistletoe

Sitting under the mistletoe
(Pale-green, fairy mistletoe),
One last candle burning low,
All the sleepy dancers gone,
Just one candle burning on,
Shadows lurking everywhere:
Some one came, and kissed me there.

Tired I was; my head would go
Nodding under the mistletoe
(Pale-green, fairy mistletoe),
No footsteps came, no voice, but only,
Just as I sat there, sleepy, lonely,
Stooped in the still and shadowy air
Lips unseen””and kissed me there.

-Walter de la Mare (1913)

That’s it.

For the gruesome story.

Here’s my version of a unicorn chaser — Tember and I dragging the Christmas tree home:

Tember drags the tree.

I’ve also been experimenting with Tumblr. At the right, there’s a link to Wiscotumblr, which has some videos and pictures that I’ve come across in cyberspace. I put a video of Tember pulling the tree up there.
