Heard birds chirping this morning, for all the world as if they believe it is spring. Is this like the groundhog seeing his shadow? This time last year we were under more than a foot of snow.
An image of which I’m providing here now, except for a slight chance of light snow on Thursday, it looks like we’re headed into a warming trend for the next ten days or so with lots of sun. Spring isn’t really that far behind. I guess we could get a late winter snowstorm. It isn’t that unusual around her for heavy snow in March, but a March snow isn’t so cruel as a big one in February. In March one always knows that relief is near by. Unless winter extends itself…I guess there is a reason it is said that “March is the cruelest month.” I dove headfirst into getting the pottery studio at the college cleaned up. Heavens to Betsy, those students do love to leave a mess. I loaded a bunch of large sculpture into the kiln for the sculpture teacher and got that started firing. Got a bunch of clay another step into the recycling process. Moved some pottery wheels around in anticipation of the gift of a new wheel I will be receiving tomorrow. Well, not new. Actually a very old wooden framed kickwheel with a motor added on. And to get it into the studio I’ll need to dis-assemble it, load it in my van, unload it, drag it into the studio and re-assemble it. I’ve done this many times before, but I’m hoping this is the last time. I think I’ll bother to take some pictures of this process tomorrow and post them. In the meantime, I’m off to the web design committee meeting for the MFA…our local arts group…as we try to move into the 21 Century in style.
