This snow has a lot of different forms: sleet, snert, wet snow, less wet snow. At least it didn’t plug the snowblower. As I followed the snowblower down the driveway and back up, I had these background/foreground visions: background–I’m layered up, in swiftly falling snow and operating a loud orange machine; foreground–I’m sitting on the lanai of our oceanview room in the Westin looking out toward the western horizon of the Pacific ocean as the sun begins to set.
The snow makes the transition from Minnesota to Hawai’i a nice contrast.
Getting stuff done today and tomorrow since on Wednesday I leave for Dwelling in the Woods. My day without the guys I plan to snowshoe and read about Taoism, prepare for my workshop. During the retreat I plan to snowshoe at least once a day.
Picked up some dried mulberries today at the co-op. Sweet, but not local. Not hardly. From Turkey. It just occurred to me that I read an article this afternoon about silk scarf makers in Armenia, next to the Turkish border. They had a historic industry, but the Armenian genocide wiped it out. This town had just received a grant from the EU to grow, mulberry trees!
