The last sketch is more a scribble than a drawing. But there will be more hours in future, and I will dress more warmly.P. J.

I sent a bag home with a friend whose husband grows cherries, apples, and pears commercially, and he thought they were "just" wild apples, not any recognizable variety. Thank you for the thought that the trees appreciate attention. It is my pleasure and extreme good fortune to spend time in these small, easily overlooked corners so rich in life.P. J.

I think the apple trees would be pleased to be described with such thoughtfulness.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824027366993286152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157333055767403088.post-57236481787499561042012-01-23T08:13:29.709-08:002012-01-23T08:13:29.709-08:00I had never thought of wind over snow making the s...I had never thought of wind over snow making the same effects as water over sand, but of course it would. I know that that time of day when the warm light fills the sky just as the evening wind begins to chill. Time to go indoors.<br /><br />This is a good place to hang out.Gerryhttp://torchlakeviews.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
