Industrial Strength Sunrise

Pipes and Things © 2008 Bo Mackison

This is not a typical sunrise, but this will have to do as my sunrise of the day. And maybe yours, too. (Sunrise du Jour?)

After months of below freezing weather and record breaking snowfall, the temperatures crawled into the mid 40s Sunday. Heat wave, I know. But Mother Nature knows I’ve been on her case and she isn’t ready to play nice quite yet. So we are having heavy thunderstorms as I write this in the middle of the night, actually early Monday morning, and the temps are dropping. Of course!

Guaranteed frozen winter-land in the morning! Ice skating roads and overloaded tree branches. 100% guaranteed!

Anyway. Wherever you have landed on this mystifying revolving orb, enjoy your sunrise and the day it promises. And if you need to borrow my industrial-strength sunrise this morning, by all means. Feel free. Any way you look at it, it’s a good thing.

When you see day break, it’s a definite sign you’ve made it through one more night. And that. my friends, is a very good thing.

Coastal Dreaming © 2008 Bo Mackison

If you think you are cold, you are. If you think you are warm, you are warm. All you have to do is ask, and the world conspires to give you what you ask for. Right? Hmm.Maybe the world hasn’t been listening too well. I quit asking for cold and snow months ago, but I don’t think the world heard me. I’m still wearing long underwear 24/7 and I have developed a deep and personal relationship with my snowblower.

Anyone else feeling ignored out there in blog land? Rumor has it that the Leap Day Fairy is willing to leap tall buildings in order to bring joy into our days. When I called her on our behalf, however, she informed me, “No one, not even wonderful me, messes with Mother Nature.”

I knew that.

Ice Storm

Winterscape © 2008 Bo Mackison

Wisconsin is still covered in white, although we did miss the forecasted storm earlier this week. It is the FIRST time this season that we did not get dumped on when ‘dumping on’ was predicted. Those darned weatherpersons finally made a wrong call – ’bout time. It isn’t nice to be perfect all the time.

I still have enough winter photographs to post daily until 2009, or perhaps even until 2010, but in honor of Leap Year Day tomorrow, I promise a photo that will soothe all the sun-starved, me included.

No man should go through life without once experiencing … solitude in the wilderness, finding himself depending solely on himself and thereby learning his true and hidden strength. ~Jack Kerouac
