Today was the weirdest mix of weather conditions : snow, sleet, freezing rain, plain-old-rain and HUGE wind, making it seem much colder than it really was, but at the end of the afteroon I take a walk down to the mailbox and am positively blown away – not by the wind, but by the amazingly purple sky. I don’t remember ever seeing a sky this colour. It is a rich, deep blueish purple, kind of like blueberry that thinks it’s the Queen. Wow! I’m spending a week in Vermont, all alone, while my kids ski in Colorado and my husband writes new tunes in our Québec house. The goal : redo my website, work on personal projects in development, draw, sing, play my accordion, drink a few nice glasses of wine… and peaceful doesn’t begin to describe how wonderful it is (although it’s half over). However, the sound of chat windows opening up now and then (Adium) keep me from missing anybody too much… the up side of too much technology.
