We've come home from the desert. This winter is dragging its heels. I love the way AM saw woodcut possibilities in Sabrina's outing.

I can hardly imagine it. Our snowfall so far this year has amounted to about a quarter of in inch on the deck. Some of it didn't melt where it landed on leaves or on spider webs.

I've often thought that the snow looks like some of the places I've been in the desert, especially after the wind has sculpted it into dunes. am - Thanks!

Stills from it would make a fine painting or linocut or woodcut. I've spent more time in deserts than in snowy places. A snowy landscape makes me think of deserts.

The tree branches are already so weighed down with snow that it would have been devastating (shades of the ice storm of '98). It's taken a long time for the forests to begin to recover from the damage. - robin - Yes, we've had a lot of snow compared to most years. We're not far from breaking the record for most snowfall. Indeed, the sun is out now although it's quite cold and windy this afternoon. I hope we're getting some vitamin D although I've read that we don't get much from the sun in winter even if we're out in it for hours. Bring on the springtime! - John - The snow is lovely to look at, but clearing away this much snow is not too amusing. I'm growing a bit tired of having to deal with it so often.
