The perfect surface gone
Criss-crossed and written on
Where the wild creatures ranged
While the moon rose and shone.May Sarton, “December Moon” from Coming Into Eighty
Looks like it will be a white Christmas here this year. The bird tracks in the snow yesterday brought May Sarton’s lines to mind. And another, heavier, blanket greeted us this morning.
Where has December gone? I’ll have lots of carving-related stuff to post about soon. For now, have a happy holiday and safe travels wherever you make tracks.

Rather than carving, I’ve been busy turning. But I’ve found some lovely wood inside pieces that looked otherwise ordinary. Hope you are similarly blessed, Dave!
