1580. first

 

i sat and sipped tea
watching cars be cleared of snow 
mine used to be first… 🦊❤️

I sat watching my neighbors clear their cars of the year’s first accumulation of snow.  I was still in my recently purchased pajama bottoms that are super baggy and very warm. I could see the morning sun was already starting to crystalize the snow into a more solid coating.  My cup of ginger lemon tea with honey and lemon tasted good.  I thought about why being the “first” to clean my car on a snowy morning was so very important to me for years. I realized that it still is important to me.   I called Yulan and shared my observation.  We laughed. After we hung up I continued to ponder the question. Later that evening I bundled up and cleared my car of the frozen snow.  🦊❤️
