#nablopomoed Day 6
On the way to school today I noticed how light it was now that we are on Daylight Savings Time; I’d rather have the daylight after school. I noticed that it was warmer than the supposed forecast — so no predicted black ice, thankfully.

I allowed the image of full branches, bursting in the yellow of sunshine and red of a morning sun, knowing that next week the leaves will have let go, leaving the bare branches to bend in the wind and brace the snow. I hold the yellow and red vision and hope it will last.
