Ah, the final day of 2020, at long last. A lot could be said about the year that was. Significantly more positive things can be hoped for in the year ahead.
But, I mean, when it comes to the year that concludes today, good riddance covers most of it.
Anyway. Write about: the lay of the land.
The exercise:
Write about: tracks in the snow.
Had a big dumping of snow overnight, so I went for a walk in the orchard with the boys this morning. Well, Max got out snowshoes for him and Miles, and I walked. I did enough snowshoeing on Monday with Kat in the mountains that I'm still a bit sore from it.
Anyway. There were lots of quail tracks in the snow.
The exercise:
Write two haiku about: the long, dark days of winter.
Why yes, it is a cloudy, grey day here today. What a coincidence.

The exercise:
Only one week until Christmas? Hmm.

Fell asleep putting Max to bed tonight. Apparently.
The exercise:

Hard to believe there are only three more Saturdays left in 2020. Speaking of the end of the year, I'm aiming for a return to Hindsight this week for its finale.
