Good morning

I woke reluctantly this morning, not ready to 'rise and shine.'  I'd been dreaming that we had two women drop in to visit us, and we were newly married. The women were people my husband knew but I didn't.  I was trying to be very hospitable and serve them some dessert and coffee.  My house was in good order but I couldn't get those few plates and forks on the table correctly, no matter what I did!  I made so many mindless mistakes.  I couldn't believe it. When I finally got the table ready for four and we were starting to sit down, I discovered there was one more person, which in real time would make five people.  But in dream time it was eight!  You'd think I would be eager to get out of that kind of confusion, and I suppose I was.  But I just didn't want to get out of bed yet.

However, it's a glorious morning.  The sun is bright on the snow and the shadows make a strong contrast against the brightness.  I look at them and think about how I would paint what I see.  And! We have the promise that it will be warmer this afternoon and possibly it will get to 50 degrees tomorrow!  That's exciting news.

The fruit man will have his truck at the plaza this morning and I hope to get over there and buy some apples.  The ones I got from him a month ago were huge and wonderfully sweet.  I hope I can get them again.  I don't know how to spell it.  Matzuh?  They are for cooking or eating, and if you use them for cooking, it's easy to peel just a few of them and have lots. 

It will be good to get out into the sunshine, even though the air is cold.
