Toad Hall Times at Fifteenth House in the Forest

 first snow today, blowing so hard I couldn't see what shape or consistency it was

Our artistic friend, Charlie, has quite a discussion on a certain piece of art here: check out the Whole Exhibit, too, it's fun & quirky.

Lest anyone think it was that hard i wanted to give a shout-away to the woman who gave us the original folded paper origami(several years ago) that instigated the designs: Anne. this is her blog:

the original folded paper creation

story of the design

other designs made the same day

It's snowing!

The virus came thru them as they pulled feathers from dead swans..

familiar buzz of dougs snoring, rising & falling in circles in the dark
At night there is only the circle of lamplight to work in, everything beyond is blanked out & cannot interfere

I noticed a large tear in his dress shoe where it had pulled away from the sole one night when we were out.

furry cottontail breaks & runs under the pines only when I am 3 feet away. And it starts to snow.
The daylilies are sprouting, we hear mourning doves cooing with vigor, mornings.

Today is the first day of spring, the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. On this day the North and South Poles are equally distant from the sun, so we will have almost exactly the same amount of daytime as nighttime.

The novelist Margaret Atwood said, "In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt."

Emily Dickinson said, "A little Madness in the Spring / Is wholesome even for the King."
