A Star So Bright You Blind Me....

Autumn is past.

It is now winter.

The sun wasn't fully up when I got into work this morning, and it was making headways behind Arran when I left.

When the cat came in, the still cold night air caught my breath, but despite that, I stood for a moment savoring the still, and the quiet, and the biting chill.

And now, am snuggled on the couch, pashmina pulled tight around me, and contemplating rising up and heading in to the dark to collect the Toolibelle because I know she will be tired, and cold.

Such is the life of a mother.
