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.&#8221; -Ruth Stout<\/i> (I&#8217;ve quoted this before.. perfect for a winter &#038; country &#038; solitude loving person like myself.)<\/p>\n<p>I had a super amazing weekend at the Lola Giant Holiday Show. Thanks so much to all you folks that came by! I couldn&#8217;t have asked for a better end to my year of art shows. Now, onto some major production work&#8230; and to enjoy the winter. Although I&#8217;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&#8217;m seriously hoping for snow this year. I feel like I was cheated out of winter last year.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s yard. It was dark so I didn&#8217;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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My bedroom window, Dec. 15, 2009. &#8220;There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you&#8230;.
