bright reflecting sunshine
a dusting of snow
bracing cold air
the heavy odor
of diesel fuel
outside
everywhere
remind me
winter life in the city
comes with circi
convenience
and costs
requiring
care

Note:
Circi, also spelled as sirsee, circe, surcy, and surcee, is a word used mostly in the southern U.S. that means “an unexpected, usually small, gift” (English Language & Usage Stack Exchange).
Very evocative beauty and the reality of the diesel fumes. Pinto does look thoughtful!

Wonderful reflections & mysterious Pinto, dear Carol. I like your blog’s veil. It’s always around simple life things, with views from your daily life. But any new moment they are various and views are very mutable. You prove that there are no two similar moments in existence and all important is next to us. Though…sometimes we need Internet to reach it. 🙂
