The Snow

We just got our first snow up here in the high desert of New Mexico. It was very pretty, big fluffy flakes, blown against the side of buildings and mesas , and sitting softly on all the branches of the evergreens. So picturesque. It's getting colder by the day and the sun falls below the horizon sooner and sooner each day. Exactly the weather for hot tea, big soft quilts, and stacks of good books.

March comes in like a lion.....

"The storm, which rolled in Friday, dumped 20.4 inches of snow on Columbus, breaking the city's previous record of 15.3 inches set in February 1910, the weather service said. Cincinnati and Cleveland also received about a foot of snow."

Check it out...

I've never really thought clearly (or to much extent) about it, but being here in the land of Perpetual Precipitation serves to increase the time spent on thinking of rain/snow/weather, so light should have dawned by now. Well, I had an epiphany in class this morning. Dr.B Sr was talking about the passage in Psalms where it says, "purge me with hyssop and cleanse me whiter then snow." and the premise is that snow is rain and rain is moisture wrapped around a dust particle of some time, and therefore snow is not completely white, but has a core of grime as it's basis...David was speaking not of salvation but of spiritual cleansing of the core of self-centered-ness in himself. Cool imagery, but not my epiphany. It just hit me like a flash that one of the reasons it rains (snows, etc.) a lot up here is the higher level of molecules in the air. Denser air, more pollution, etc. Now, L1 is the physicist in the family, but every now and then I tend to enjoy it as well. Just as long as he or some other smarter person isn't around to correct my misconceptions and errors. Please, no comments.

(You know, it just occurred to me...there are two sets going and one coming. Does that mean I need to keep my eyes peeled for where they hid the body? Hhmmmm, I think I should join NCIS. I am so good. Like Sherlock-ish even. OK, so I am just good at jumping to conclusions, but they give prizes for long jumps, don't they?)

In case you can't tell, it says "Close encounters of the penguin kind." I think I have had some of those.

We need a sign; "Watch for ice on bridge." Although it is much slipperier now that they have salted and such.

A study in...well, there isn't really a word for it. Paper maiche that has gotten way out of hand, maybe.
(It's the side of the Stable/cave prop in the middle of the stage. I am on the VERY end, {as in I am going to have to iron a crease in my shoes if I stand there very long.} so get to see it in lots of different cool lighting.

Yes, I was singing too. How could you even ask me that? I am so offended.
