| The glacier is actually 2X the size now. |
It has been a long and protracted winter with lots of snow,
so much so that a real live glacier has taken up residence outside the studio
window (assisted by parking lot dozer). But we must have faith in all the early
signs of spring. A few days ago we saw a large V of returning geese looking for
open water.
We have been busy getting spring art shows set up. So far we have four venues and some with a
few sales. That can make the cruel long winter a little easier, but still the
looming glacier is trying to advance toward the studio window. We will keep
folks apprised as to the advance of ice and snow and especially the art shows.
