The Long Wait
January 17, 2020
Two days ago I left the house at 9am. Between then and returning at noon, our pipes had frozen. It was -23C (-9.5F). On the coldest day so far in 2020–with pipes freezing all across Kamloops, B. C.–the search for an available plumber was on. Four tries later, I snagged one just finishing up in our neighbourhood, and an hour-and-a-half –and $165– later, we heard that lovely sound of water bursting out of multiple taps.

Seeing our rescuing plumber to the door, I saw we’d gotten some mail. It was our first-of-many, colourful Spring Seed Catalogs.

So beautiful and evocative. No snow here in SF Bay Area and though I appreciate the weather here and don’t miss trying to get around in snowy weather, I do miss seeing the quiet beauty you’ve so perfectly captured here.

Your photo combines with your last sentence to make it seem the crows are waiting for plants to come up.
