She wontedly wore a silk crimson scarf, plush fitted hat and a smile that invited anyone who saw it to say hi.
Nowadays she wears soft tattered slippers, ruminates in a rickety rocking chair and has groceries delivered every two weeks.

As the snow melts here in Canada, seeing that beautiful expanse of white shows me how gorgeous nature can be. I love the write up and imagination!

Time does March on and and things do change. You make me wonder if she is satisfied with her long life, or sad that she isn’t in the red silk scarf?

I somehow misread this first time round, and burst out laughing; saw the poignancy on a re-read. Maybe it lost or gained something in translation across the pond!!

Matches my mood today! Visits from family dwindle as we age because they are in that busy time of life with work and family that we have left behind. Feeling like that little house alone in the field of snow.
A melancholy day for sure but somehow even though the picture reminds me of the aloneness (not loneliness, there is a difference) it also somehow brings me comfort all snuggled up there in the snow.
Thanks for just letting me think out loud!

Hello Edward,
She is the same beautiful person within. Our elderly, grandmothers and great grandmothers are trapped inside their memories of past clothes and interactions. Two sentences is a marvel, “ruminates in a rickety rocking,” beautiful alliteration as is your photography. The snow this season was breath taking. You are further north east of Ohio, so the snow was higher, though our temperatures may have been colder. I wish I had spent more time outside in the drifts. The snow has mostly melted in the past two days. I love your photography. Take care.

At one point in 2012, I had a grandmother and a great grandmother in their late 90’s. Before my grandmother died at 99, I had wonder conversations with her “younger” self. My great grandmother was a pistol to the very end, very lucid, very 98.

Your post reminds me of hint fiction. It is a style of writing in which a story is summed up in 25 words or less. It is a lot of fun, and good for one’s writing chops. Great post!
