Solar Power

I run on solar power. I spend spring and summer storing up Vitamin D and fresh air, hoping to reserve enough to survive Missouri winters, yet every February I find my stores depleted. The grey skies feel looming, the cold has set into my bones, and the harsh winds have cracked my skin. Ugh!

It seems God knows when I need a respite - that's when 50 degree days come around.

Miss Sumatra and I take our standard walk around the neighborhood, sniffing the air and observing the neighbors. My internal solar panels recharge and I have just enough to make it through the inevitable return to winter.

Daylight Savings Time arrives in 12 days - I've never looked forward to it more.
