I need a vacation or a little time by myself

It's Saturday afternoon, March 6, 2010, and I realized today I need a vacation. I also realized that I'm not getting either a vacation or a little time by myself. Therefore, I'm just going to have to figure out how to handle the stress another way.

I look out my window,
I see a cloudy sky;
the clouds are a mixture
of gray and white,
of light and shadow.

My life is a mixture
of joy and tears,
of light and shadow
similar to clouds I see today.

    Saturday in Las Vegas

    Another cloudy day
    I don't expect it to rain
    just late winter blues.

    The clouds are getting a bit old. A little rain would be a nice change, but I doubt we receive rain, at least in my neighborhood or anywhere in Las Vegas today. I'm looking forward to spring when the weather gets warmer.

    Dreams of warm weather
    spring is still two months away
    need a vacation.

    Another Cloudy Day in Las Vegas

    The cloud covered sky
    hides the seasons happiness
    a dreary Friday

    A cloudy Tuesday Morning in Las Vegas

    It is a cloudy Tuesday morning in Las Vegas. The firmament is covered with dirty gray, charcoal, and white clouds. Small patches of blue sky peeks from behind the clouds at random intervals. This is a good day to write about the beauty of the clouds and the droopy stone pine limbs above my garage.

    No wind plays through the stone pine boughs. Occasionally a slight breeze moves the tree limbs. I catch this movement from the corner of my eye and look out my living room window. When and if I move my office into the spare room, I'm not going to be able to look at the wind play through the stone pine limbs.

    The window in the spare room faces the backyard. The only things I can see from that window is the fence, oleanders and blue or cloudy sky. However, there are other advantages to making the spare room my office. There are income tax advantages and and I am able to close the door, I do not think I can lock the door, but that is not important. The ability to close the door is more important then anything else.

    It is a cloudy Tuesday morning in Las Vegas and I am thinking about changing my office from the living room into the spare room. Of course, I am going to have to clean out the spare room first because right now it is a junk room.

    Writing about the weather in Las Vegas

    To paraphrase an old saying, "Every body writes about the weather, but on one does anything about it." Today the weather in Las Vegas is windy and cloudy. I haven't checked the weather report that comes to my e-mail box yet today. However, I have looked out my living room window and the wind is blowing.

    When I got up this morning, clouds covered the sky. Now there are patches of blue peeking through the charcoal gray clouds. There is a wind chill factor, but this is early spring so the air feels brisk when I go outside. I went out to get the paper this morning and have remained inside since. I think I will go out this afternoon again because I need gas before tomorrow. I also need to get my car washed; however, I'm not washing it today.

    Wind whisper through city trees
    blows clouds west
    towards distant mountain peeks
    a nice day for remaining indoors.
