Not quite Spring
by jude
It snowed way more than expected. We had nowhere to go. So we just watched and I stitched a few 2″ squares. I feel a new Frame of Mind forming.

mid storm
by jude
I wake up. I pee. I feed Soul-o. He pees. The power goes back on. I look outside, about 2″ and snowing. A lot. I make oatmeal and tea. I notice the tiny solar lights I placed in the clay lantern is still glowing and there was no sunshine yesterday. The sun comes up even though I cannot see it. I eat the oatmeal. I don’t feel like tea, so I save it for later and make coffee for a […]

Expecting Snow
by jude
A question. There was a question… And now a response: I was going to make a video but now they are predicting 4-12″ of snow and very high wind and I need to get to the post office and the market and I am sure everyone else has the same idea… so maybe later. Every bit of this one is important for me.

A heart’s season
by jude
And with a few more stitches, I just about finished it. After some silly bitching about the coming snow, suddenly I said to myself It’s Spring in My Heart. Resulting in a few scattered seeds and a bit of new growth. Then I went outside to bring in some wood before the snow tonight.

March is a tease
by jude
Well here it comes again. Snow, tomorrow. And then, again next week. It is warm enough to be outside midday, walking, but then always below freezing at night. A thought caught yesterday… Sort of combines center with foundation. As one piece. Thinking of tearing some thin cloth into squares, then playing what if in the centers, then foundation piecing around them. I’ll try. One at least. I will work with colorlessness. A Sanity cabin maybe. Holding old questions in some useful way.

And really, the first real snow.

cold and warm
by jude
The only pic I could get was through the porch screen. Three deer women, they came together and wandered off together. We blew the snow off the steps but where we walked remained like a cold story. On a whim, I stitched in circle around the center of the earth cabin, to make it dot like. I used a double running stitch, magic style, but this time using one strand of floss. The dot is not as obvious as I […]

Just breathing
by jude
It cannot last long , this tiny spring. After all it IS still February. February is a season in itself. A season of seasons. I enjoy the swing. I stitched another little cabin just so I could talk about a few more things. But no talking today, just walking before the rain comes.
