Yesterday
I guess we got a little over 12". At last measure. It suddenly stopped snowing in the early afternoon.
The temperature rose steadily during the day and there was a bit of melting and evaporation. Plowing happened toward evening and we were able to move freely.
I managed to get to the mailbox and was pleasantly surprised by an early birthday gift from Pam. Thank you so much!
I sat with the beast most of the day.
And I fed the birds 3 times.
Today
The sun is out but it is very windy and cold. There is more snow coming...
I like how this is going and I wish there was not such a gap between yesterday and today for you here, because so many new challenges arose and I would have liked to talk about those real time.
Gee.
It's been a long time since I captured the sunlight through a cat's ear.
Tomorrow
I am putting together a little Newsletter that will be emailed to those of you who were part of the original Forever Zone. Just to get in touch. I will send it tomorrow morning. Since some of you who were granted late access might not be on my mailing list, I will also post access to this correspondence on the blog tomorrow, in my next post.
And I will have more to say about what I imagine might happen with all of this going forward.
The snow is beautiful-the contrast between the porch and the outside… inviting.
Rain here has challenged this old house’s roof and electrical so working on these things between moons.
I enjoy the return of the beast!
these old houses, challenges are ongoing. This one is just made cheaply so it is very annoying. Ha!
The beast has remerged as very very important.
Oh my!!! All of a sudden I can now comment on your posts (at least this one so far) in the Jetpack ap.
Lately I’ve been replying to all your posts but just in my head! The winter snow pics were calming… catch up soon. Xo
Yes, with a bit of help from the computer guy here, I fixed it. Ha!
Thank him for me!!!
I will!
those buttery splashes of sun in the first picture made me smile … and as ever, I remembered the hush of newfallen snow and the scent of crystalline air … not to mention the scrapes and thuds of snowshoveling
how carefully your cloth creature carries the singing moon … giving it voice
yes, that scent, how it cuts through, so clean.
there is so much intention and energy in carrying isn’t there?
I can feel your glow.
I wonder about glow, what it is…💛
Glad you are having a sunny Valentine’s….
Was a nice contrast to yesterday
“sunlight through a cat’s ear”… purrrfect title for a small book of beast clothwork. just sayin’…
Has a nice ring to it.
Further east here in Cape Breton we are full on Valentine’s Day snow storm. Blowing and drifting, so no one moving too far. Spent the day crocheting wildlife rescue nests and watching 4 brave snowbirds munching on the seeds I spread on the ❄. I could see ice on their little beaks and then watched them jump on a branch and use it to scrape the ice off. They are the toughest little birds.
Yes they are, I love watching their little dance as they push the snow aside to look underneath.
Love your beast with moon in the mouth. We got a dusting for a change, for once, I’m sort of glad. I still get emails from school and they had virtual classes yesterday as the middle of the state got more snow. I’d have told my students to go play in the snow… maybe make a snow sculpture and have fun.
the storm dropped south, I really expected a dusting at one point.
Snow days were the best…
We were supposed to get 6-10″ one day, then the next, poof, a dusting!
Was expecting more but looks like just a dusting
I love your message to the students! I’m sure you would have shared that joy with them 🙂
I would have been out shoveling, probably, except we didn’t really get any, so I guess it would have been a day of fun for me, too! 🙂
Yeah, we got all of it!
happy Valentine’s day… stay warm and love where you are… super hugs 2 all…
love where u are, that is good advice.
The leafy tail made me smile. 🙂 Still snow in the forecast here for tonight and tomorrow AM. It’s not supposed to accumulate though.
spring is following me.
not sure how it will go but snow is in the forecast for the next 3 days.
You are full of ideas on this St. Valentine’s Day, Jude! Love your Beast…and thank you for sharing Pam’s work…wow.
beautiful, right?
You’re very welcome Jude! 💙
All that snow is so beautiful ❄️❄️❄️
I can still remember the snow days in Indiana ☃️
so nice to see it up close.
weird that the schools were closed but classes are now held virtually. The good old days of snow days have gone!
Well this is a tantalizing post!
I’ve always been a tease.
Love reading about your life. Thank you for this. Glad you guys are ok after that storm.
it was a beautiful happening.
Gosh, I love this beast…and isn’t sunlight thru a cat’s ear just wondrous!?
I suppose it can be seen through our ears too, but the cat can’t use the camera! ha!
Ha!
once I caught the sunlight through the man’s ear, but he doesn’t like me posting stuff like that. ha!
You crack me up 😁
Love this whole post today. So full of the now and the recent past and touched with dreaming. Lovely.
I’m in a pretty good mood. For now.
