It is a quiet morn­ing even though so many peo­ple are on the street.
Snow seems to quiet things even as it falls lightly on a spring day. The flakes are more like clumps some­times falling in a direct line to the pave­ment and the peo­ple walk­ing past my view wear every­thing from watch caps and anoraks and fleece jack­ets to car­ry­ing brightly col­ored umbrel­las. The snow has it’s many iter­a­tions, swirling with the wind in con­fused direc­tion and then that angle that lands the flakes on your eye­lids no mat­ter what you do.

There are birds tweet­ing, con­fused in this crazy March that promises to bring spring.

Still the sounds are muf­fled by the wet snow and we can embrace the rhythm of it’s falling. Qui­etly sip­ping cof­fee from behind the steamed panes.

Yes­ter­day.
Mak­ing a pickup in the pour­ing rain. It was a mis­er­able day.
So happy to get home and have a hot coffee.

Then orga­nize.

At last the tree was fully trimmed and pushed back into it’s lit­tle nook. Each year we go on a tree search and bring a beauty that calls to us from the fields.

It was a joy to trim the tree with our best-est of friends. This grand tree looks lovely.

Done.

Assess­ing, the tools for tomorrow’s hol­i­day event. Tools are a beau­ti­ful thing and the right tools with the right ingre­di­ents make for a lov­able feast. The sweet pota­toes, brus­sel sprouts, pork roast, fresh arti­san bread, milk punch, and rum raisins. And a lus­cious choco­late desert.

Adding new recipes to my iPad.

I’ve embarked on a project this year.

A 365 day project. It will result in 365 draw­ings. They will be made on my iPhone. I’ll be post­ing at my art­log and you can see them there if you are inter­ested. I’ll try to write a bit about each of the draw­ings but some­times the posts will be wordless.

I stopped putting my art­work at this blog except on special occasions.

I do have to admit that I’ve been on a music thang lately. Has some­thing to do with work­ing so much. Lis­ten­ing to lots of tunes. Being in the sound­track of your life. I’m not apol­o­giz­ing — I’m going with it. Who knows where it will lead. Hope you enjoy it with me.

I haven’t seen the out­side world for three days. Yes­ter­day finally felt the out­side air and walked over to Old City Cof­fee sit­ting out­side in the sun for about two and a half hours. What a good med­i­cine the sun.

Still no Com­cast. After many more phone calls and tweets than should be nec­es­sary, instal­la­tion is expected to take place on tues­day. See­ing is believing.

a few of our favorite things

The move is com­plete. The art hang­ers in the walls, the small pieces of art, the pocket change, and boxes of restau­rant matches have all been relocated.

Fight­ing off being sick the week of pack­ing –– the morn­ing of the move I suc­cumbed to a sore throat, body aches, and gen­eral exhaus­tion. Most of the move is a blur. I actu­ally slept while the con­tents of South Philly were relo­cated into their new con­tainer in Old City. Mambo movers and Mar­garet made it happen.

It’s all clear to me now. Wak­ing for the first time in the new space. We are eye deep in boxes.

Phase one of the move. The day began with threat­en­ingly black skies. The day began with threat­en­ingly black skies.

Not now.

Doing a bit of cover up. Love that yel­low, just not that much sur­face, in this space.
