hello world!

So, I think I'll keep a blog. How do you feel about that?
Well, it's not going to be all that regular, but sometimes it's nice to have a place to write where you know someone will read it.

If you're curious about my blog title it's inspired by one of my favorite poets, Emily Dickinson.

"A curious Cloud surprised the Sky,
'Twas like a sheet with Horns;
The sheet was Blue—
The Antlers Gray—
It almost touched the lawns.

So low it leaned—then statelier drew—
And trailed like robes away,
A Queen adown a satin aisle
Had not the majesty."

It's not my most favorite poems of hers, but I liked the sound of "Antlers Gray" and you know the rest.

Up until this point I've just used FaceBook for any mental dumping, but I think this'll be a bit nicer. Perhaps later I'll republish some of my thoughts here.

Later days,
~Laura
