#NewThisDay Writing

I swam and had the whole pool to myself! It was wonderfully quiet. I haven’t been in this pool for a week and it was wonderful to be back. Then Charlie and I had a walk around the wet woods. The river is high; not as high as it was, though. The tent is dry and accessible. When I woke this morning, I had the opening line to a new poem, and maybe part of the first stanza, but then I went to get coffee and Wave soon got up and I wanted time with him and it didn’t get written; but dipping eggs and hot chocolate were enjoyed. Today I got time with my daughter, and laundry and unpacking, and we picked up Wave from school and I had time with him in the yard. He hungrily ate some of the snow left in a few small mounds on the lawn, and I joined him. It was clean and cold and crunch and we were happy.
