somewhere in the moors

this place is, as lauren put it, very much like a tim burton movie sometimes. this morning it was fairly dark again in my little lair of sorts but the sun has been peeking out every so often through the dense fog that enshrouds the house here. i love this place. i am very much at home right now. i took zoe, the family dog, out for a long walk yesterday that has left me a bit sore this morning. we walked something like 3 or 4 miles. i'd guess closer to 3. still, it was a good walk and i enjoyed being out in the fog. there's something incredibly cool and mysterious about being out in the fog. you can hear more than you ever do with snow but you can't see nearly as well. it's like this thick blanket decends on everything. the cars throw their light visibly into the mists and it's just amazing how it smells and feels when you breathe a cloud. cool, wet, encompassing fog.
