Mondays are still meh...

"Crows in Moonlight" by Ohara Koson (1927)

This month's full moon, the Crow Moon, supposedly signals the end of winter. I think some of the local crows will be unhappy with this morning's freezing rain, though.

I'm ready for winter to  be done, myself. This year the persons who decide to do such things decided to name all winter storms the way they name hurricanes, and since this week we are being ravaged by Wiley - or Waldo, depending on your weather source, the end of the alphabet must surely mean the end of winter.

It remains to be seen whether or not my muse comes out of hibernation any time soon, however.

    1. I caught a peek of the almost-crow moon Saturday before the clouds came in, Mr. C. I may have even howled at it a little...

    1. Yes, JJ, I know you are trying . . . .

      Interesting theory you have there. At least it sounds better than just saying I'm lazy and uninspired.

    1. Mark, we've averaged one ice and/or snow storm a week up until now, too -- but the robins have arrived. They looked really pissed off the other day out in the sleet . . . .

  4. I love winter - usually - but I am ready for this one to go. We have three feet of standing snow and another storm forecast for tonight.
    looks like I won't be dancing necked around a bonfire to welcome in spring.
