the trouble with winter is that the days are far too short. the sun is down and gone. 6 o'clock and already black outside. and cold.
i painted today. i crocheted beanies for me and my sweetie. i made a great big dinner and played with my dog. and now with a full belly, i'm going to crawl back in to my fleece footie pajamas, crawl in to bed, and crawl further still in to my collection of little morbid fairy-tales and nursery rhymes.
did you know that on this day 29 years ago, john lennon was murdered? i was born 3 months and 5 days earlier, robbed from the start. and i send up my small prayer for yoko and his children- that their hearts are light and singing today, full of fond remembrances and hope.

John Lennon good reminder... his life and art, hope, something to think about, remember and feel. I saw a documentary about Annie Leibovitz and she took the famous photo of him naked holding Yoko right before he died and I didn't know it but photo was his idea. It brings me to tears every time I think about that.
We have a blizzard here way up north, helllooo winter, it sounds like it's cold down there too. Yikes! let the fun times begin ;) I might have to go out in it later and pretend I'm a kid again and build a snowman or something.... maybe
Here's to staying warm and good books!
snow!!!!! ahhhhhhhh!!!!! i hope you have thick sweaters and wooly socka and big ol' boots to go stomp around in it.
yoko is one of my favorite artists. she's a wonderful lady and it always made me mad that she had to carry the burden of a bad rep for so long. that photograph is absolutely beautiful. one of my most favorite photos ever. :)
