Imbolc Waning Cold Moon
If any of you want to hear about Blue Cloud Abbey, you need to know that I have experienced technical difficulties. If and when I resolve them, I’ll post the retreat notes.
I let the snow going fast past my window and the MNDOT warnings and the weather predictions convince me driving in to St. Paul was not wise. My eyes and I don’t find night driving compatible in snowy weather. Headed out to Blue Cloud we drove for about an hour in the dark. The snow coming straight at the headlights hypnotizes me, not a good state for driving.
Instead I worked out, ate supper, played with the dogs and got through the vocabulary in chapter 4 of Wheelock. This chapter has second declension neuter nouns, predicate nouns and adjectives and the irregular verb sum. This verb, whose infinitive is esse=to be, is irregular, just like in English and has to be memorized.
That was a full evening anyhow.
