20/31 ~ January Mindful Writing

Steadily falling snow.  The pale pink cherry blossoms are pink no more.

Out my window: Thick clumps of snow on the hedges, like over-the-top icing.  Snow on the roads and pavements, hardly any tracks or foot prints, still pure white.  And across the street: a black cat with a red collar sits in front of a blind-covered window, watching; a woman in a pink dressing gown, her right hand holding a cigarette hangs out of her open window.
