My bedroom window, Dec. 15, 2009.
“There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you…. In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself.” -Ruth Stout (I’ve quoted this before.. perfect for a winter & country & solitude loving person like myself.)
I had a super amazing weekend at the Lola Giant Holiday Show. Thanks so much to all you folks that came by! I couldn’t have asked for a better end to my year of art shows. Now, onto some major production work… and to enjoy the winter. Although I’ll still be working, it sort of feels like my summer break from school, only in a different season and with different priorities. Speaking of winter, I’m seriously hoping for snow this year. I feel like I was cheated out of winter last year.
And one last note, in the last 5 seconds of my drive to my final destination of the evening, a red fox ran in front of my car and into my mom’s yard. It was dark so I didn’t see where it went after that.. I think it must be a good omen to see a coyote going one way and a fox going the other. Omen or not, I get extensive joy out of seeing foxes and coyotes in the wild.. Til next time.
