Back to work!

It wasn't a drought buster, but the very welcome moisture was indeed a blessing!  From the back porch the Currier and Ives image flashed yet a moment when the realization that I needed to shovel the driveway... for the third time in four days... struck me.  Now it's time to get back to work after a record number of snow days from work!

One of the perks of working in education is the "snow day."  There really isn't much time off as there is trying to salvage what opportunity there is to catch up on emails and other paperwork - thankfully I was able to complete the preparation for a presentation I had to give - but there is also the additional time to do a few things that otherwise get put off.

Like drawing out some spindles and legs for the next project.  Or...

settling in loading some ammunition for a nearing predator hunt.  Mostly, the snow day is just that... a day of snow that settles things down, envelopes us in the white of winter.

Reminds us that what lies dormant will soon spring forth...

... as the cycle continues.
