The dude came back, he is grumpy. The weather is nasty and he works, works, works and walks, walks, walks the dog. I just got up, myself. I am thinking about the weather: it is so dreary. I dont dare open the curtains right now in the living room...I can hear the heavy rain. Maybe The roses of Solift is all right as a youth short story. I would guess it is a bit boring at first for them since it is a description of couple life in harmony, in the first section of the small book.

UPDATE

We went for a walk in the ravine by the river, down the street. The sunshine was beautiful through the trees and it felt like a real spring light day. The rain has stopped since about 11:40am. The river in the ravine was gushing and made of a rapid current with a great flow. I smoked a cigarette in the hollow valley by the river. And then walked up into the sunshine trail. It was gorgeous. Thank you Godly Nature and Sunshine of Spring in mid winter.
