-----

Blue days, black nights
I look into the sky
The stars aren't going to see you through.
The little things you planned aren't coming true.
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight.
I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night.
Let it ring for evermore.

This week's theme at My Soul's Dark Imagination was "Protagonist Pollock".

I added various spots and splats, but then I thought part of the swirl patterns looked like eyes. So I added two eyes, even though Jackson Pollack's art was solely paint splattered on a canvas, without adding anything sinister looking to that, like I did with mine.

"Full Snow Moon" - Postcard

February's full moon, which occurs on February 1, 2026 this year, is called the Full Snow Moon, because February is usually the snowiest month during Winter in the United States. Earlier this week, I thought Mother Nature was going to give the US Northeast a second round of heavy snowfall with the Nor'Easter that was approaching this area on February 1, 2026. But I think the Wind God pushed it further east, so now it looks like most of New England will be spared. With over one foot (0.3 meters) of snow already on the ground, not melting due to the frigid temperatures, there wasn't anywhere for another one foot or more of snow to be plowed away to.

This week's Our Midweek Muse theme was "Reflections (as in mirror)".

The major snow storm that affected a large swath of the United States dumped 15 inches (38.1 centimeters) of snow on my area of Connecticut on Sunday, January 25, 2026. There was a topping of sleet / freezing rain, so there was a crust on top of the snow. All of the major highways in Connecticut were still partially snow covered Monday morning, and then there was black ice. It has been bitterly cold, with the highs around 20F (-6.66 Celsius), but with a wind chill making it feel more like 0F (-17.77 Celsius). This coming Sunday, there is currently a 40% chance of a Nor'Easter hitting my area. :-(  Is it Spring yet?
