It's an Earl Grey tea sort of day

[pegkerr]

The sky is a uniform drab gray, and the streets are slick with rain. A tree in a parking lot across the street heaves in the wind, the rounded contours of its green canopy billowing and bulging like an amoeba’s outer membrane, the paler underside of the leaves turned toward the sky to taste the rain.

I am so very bored.

Same here in Sioux Falls. Cold too. I hung up draperies in the kitchen today.

...how extremely descriptive and poetic. It was odd to read that and then look outside at our VERY sunny (but yet slightly chilly) day.

MmmmmEarl Grey.

*pauses*

Yep! Time for some!

That sounds like the beginning of a story. What happens next?

Just dropping in unannounced to say that I love how you write, Peg. The first sun we've seen in nearly three weeks is cruelly snatched away, and you can still infuse the day with poetry. *sigh* Think I'll dig around for some Earl Grey and try to make the best of it.

What she said. I can see this tree in my mind. Amazing.

Rare

The weather is nearly the same here in MA, and I definitely thought that it was an Earl Grey sort of day. In fact, it took me a minute to realize that you were not one of the locals on my flist.

I had three cups of Earl Grey today.
