cooooold

The temperature went below zero last night. In this kind of weather (girl from the south speaking), I feel like I’m accomplishing something getting the wood in and the snow clear – just staying warm. Even my art looks like: maybe it’s better to not be on the ice today… let’s just peer out at […]

snow’s offerings

It snowed yesterday – notice the blurry outdoors light. A lot of the snow blew off the dock, but enough remained today to capture the footprints of my local mink. I loved that he climbed the ladder (!) and then plunked back into the lake, which has yet to freeze over.

This one concerned energy that was held. Thank goodness for eastern medicine and thank goodness for intuitive friends and thank goodness for all the […]
