Spinning in the wind

The Wind
I saw you toss the kites on high
And blow the birds about the sky;
And all around I heard you pass,
Like ladies' skirts across the grass--
O wind, a-blowing all day long,
O wind, that sings so loud a song!

I saw the different things you did,
But always you yourself you hid.
I felt you push, I heard you call,
I could not see yourself at all--
O wind, a-blowing all day long,
O wind, that sings so loud a song!

O you that are so strong and cold,
O blower, are you young or old?
Are you a beast of field and tree,
Or just a stronger child than me?
O wind, a-blowing all day long,
O wind, that sings so loud a song!
Robert Louis Stevenson

It was very mild today, but also extremely windy. My wind chime has been singing loudly all day, and the kinetic sculpture Roger gave me for Christmas has been getting a good work out, spinning away. It was mainly an indoor day today, doing laundry, ironing and changing sheets. I did my exercise today at the pool this afternoon, 52 lengths.
