January 2025 has already been

https://blog.sturmsucht.de/january-2025/

I’m working on poems tonight, specifically a Cinquain variation for a card I’ll have printed, and what I’d planned was one with a glimmer of hope. This is how it turned out:

How cold
Is hot anger
Winter brings no snow to grieve
No blue solace
Nothing

#January is almost over, and it felt eternal and very short at the same time!

I spent time with my family, worked on a few commissions (hence why I haven't shared many works this month) and ate tons of delicious food :)

Let's hope February will be kind too

::: #AmusementAsUsual "Amusement as Usual" January 2025

It’s Thursday, and here we are. Sunshine and blue skies! High 40s today in southern Michigan. Mark has his usual meetup with Dave this afternoon and I’ve got some projects to work on. Pizza and salad is what’s for dinner. Keep on keeping on, everyone. #LivetoSeeThemDie #Today #January2025

Weather and weekend update: it’s sunny but cold and we’ve got a wind advisory. Played euchre yesterday for the first time in a week & a half due to icy roads (us) and cold temps/pipe issues (besties). Paid attention to the news yesterday on Bluesky and that was a mistake (the news). The nfl game was fun to follow there. Tuning in when I think it’s important and spending more time reading is highly recommended. #Today #PureMichigan #January2025

#TGIF, Fediverse. The sun is out, and here we are. Headed out for an afternoon nosh in a bit. #PureMichigan #January2025 #Today

Sunrise plant window, post-Christmas version. I planted my amaryllis late this year, but I think the timing turned out just right. #Today #BloomScrolling #OnePride #Sunrise #January2025

Sunrise. Sending hope into the world from Michigan. #PureMichigan #Sunrise #Today #January2025

It’s the epiphany today, the 12th day of Christmas, so everything came down. Yes I DID get this superstition from my mum. (We need all the good luck we can get this year, eh?) This included my deck Christmas flag, now replaced by a winter flag. And it sure feels like winter out there . . #PureMichigan #Winter #January2025 #Today #epiphany

Good news, Michigan! Typical January weather, tho tbh not typical in recent years. But nothing too arctic. https://www.mlive.com/weather/2025/01/michigans-going-to-get-cold-but-lake-michigan-saves-us-from-true-arctic-blast.html #wimx #January2025 #PureMichigan
