We’re actually having a winter this year. No grass in sight for weeks, and that’s fine with me. I like how it transforms everything.

We walk familiar trails with fresh eyes.

Snow seems to defy gravity.

Even around the camp fire ring.

It’s a great time of year to carve and watch the snow blow outside.

Before long, the wrens will be bringing nest materials back to the box. And I’ll be heading back to Pete’s for a Bowl Carving Exploration class in March. I just heard that there has been a cancellation, so there’s an opening in the class.

Among all of the things we’ll be exploring and learning, we’ll also make a bowl. If you can break free for a week in March, I hope to see you at Pete’s.
