Hello February . . .
“One month is past, another is begun,
Since merry bells rang out the dying year,
And buds of rarest green began to peer,As if impatient for a warmer sun;
And though the distant hills are bleak and dun,
The virgin snowdrop like a lambert fire,
Pierces the cold earth with its green-streaked spire
And in dark woods, the wandering little one
May find a primrose.”
February 1st, 1842
Hartley Coleridge

This picture reminds me that I want to try doing some backyard maple sugaring! That time will be soon . . .
What is color scouting?
Every flake of snow . . .
I’ve been snowed in for a week, and cabin fever is setting in!

Check out this amazing yak made by a team of artists for the Icelandic songstress Bjork.
“It was no easy feat to create the yak. Inside, it fits three people and hand-operated mechanical pull devices that control the movements of the eyes, tongue, and other parts. The team used found materials — including moss from Björk’s country home upstate, and shaved wool, which was glued to foam pieces — to give the coat an organic quality.” – New York Sun
You can see the yak in action in Björk’s music video of Wanderlust.
