The weekend following the snow day, it snowed in earnest. I meant to take pictures, it was one of the most beautiful moments I've been in DC. I walked, trudged, slushed gleefully through the sidewalks. It was the soft kind of snow, the kind that's good for snowpeople and forts; kids were in the parks fulfilling this snow-laden mandate. It was three inches or so and very fast, thin branches everywhere weighted down in an unbelievable display of fortitude...after all they've been through this season. It was also a liveable temperature, 32 or so. I hadn't smiled like that in a while.
I'm working on a woodcut series about my dad's death. I'll post some of them here.
Now it's beginning to warm up, and we had a couple of days that could've passed for Spring. It's always amazing ot me how immediately joyful my body becomes with the presence of sun. It's a rough time to feel such a high, but I'm glad for it. I needed something.
My mom has bought a new place in Windsor and will be moving soon, which will be good. There's a memorial planned for the summer with my dad's siblings but I'm not sure when or what date. I still can't manage to pick up the phone as often as I'd like, I'm still being a little reclusive. Nonetheless, people are persistent with sending their love in many forms, about which I am always amazed and humbled.
The website that I've been working on launching (the redesign) finally went live this week. If you want to see it, you can go here. Work has been pretty busy, adn there's another feature launching within a week or so, no rest for the wicked.
