Weather

Hanging laundry on the back porch
in shorts and a T-shirt.
Waking up to the sound of a door,
slamming shut, swinging open
on squeaky hinges, slamming shut,
over and over again.
Hearing the wind building up the canyon,
slamming into the house, rattling
the windows, even the taped wind chimes
make a racket.
Crystal clear skies and sunshine
reflecting off newly fallen snow.
All within 24 hours in my town.
