Coldwater

Sampo (walk) along the river today was hard. Bitter wind and cold. Winter's clutches are tight. But suisen (daffodils) are trying mightily to face this with a pale bright yellowy-white flower here and there. They will prevail. Patience will work. Sunrise at 6:56, sets 5:16. Days are getting longer. But cold today. Sake was in order.
