A day without a sunrise. A day without a set. Just a day – another day – in the coldness. Hostile coldness inside. (I mean of course indoors not inside …. that English!) No flowers would like this and I don’t either.

So I made some strong coffee – really strong – south Swedish – a special kind of dark roast. And I also was in need of dark chocolate. A day like today. Has to be at least 70 % cocoa.

Wish I had some beautiful flowers …

bowing greens
long stripes to reach blossoms
all in lilac and snow

… though … glad I have my imagination for a Japanese Ikebana …

I turn the heat up. Listen to the ‘classica‘ piano concert. Glance towards my colored pencils beside. Or – in fact – they glance at me – and very insistently.

Carpe Diem #1152 Ikebana.
