frozen in time
fireplace ashes
the old woman remembers –
leftover chestnuts
around the fire
reading Harry Potter books
– roasting new chestnuts

Not half bad actually … gotten a little chilly lately and the air nips at one’s nose … but for the last three days we’ve had sun again and that certainly helps!
