#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream

Swans in snow

Before waking, I dreamed I overslept until 10:30 a.m.! But it was only 5:45 a.m. after all and it was just starting to snow. I had my early swim. A little tired and without goggles or cap, but I did my laps anyway. Charlie and I went into the snow and the river was lovely, snow coming fast and thick, obscuring Death Bridge. And the swans swimming along, the same bright color as the flakes. And a muskrat skimming the river, crossing their path, leaving a ripple. A busy day, no un-busy moments, but quite stimulating and moving. Ukraine support group in the morning. Aim for Astonishing in the evening. And my books arrived from the publisher! Left on the front porch as if delivered by stork. I’m so happy to see it in print, lettering and dress and shoes on the cover white as the snow, white as the swans. A new beginning.
