while the moon stands guard

one deep breath: subtle change

I had a difficult time with this weeks prompt, as 2007 has been anything but subtle for me.  In the end I decide to focus on winter precipitation in the pacific northwest.  It is often just a subtle difference between rain and snow on the valley floor.

not a drop, it falls
a unique creation
melting on touch

Love in the Time of Cholera

It took me much longer than I expected to read this book.  I still enjoyed it a bunch, its an interesting take on unrequited love.  I think in the end, it was just my reading habits that changed over the course of the past month that made it take longer to finish the book.  I switched to working part-time at work, so I no longer had a lunch hour to read and I wasn’t reading as much on my commute as I had been.  As a result I really don’t have much to say about the book itself.  It became the thing I read right before bed or when I needed something to occupy my mind that wasn’t my life.  In these roles it succeeded.
