Spring Mountain Spring Moon
Snow continues, coming down in narrow linear columns like rain and floating down, too, like snow flakes gently drifting. The result is an odd mixture of lightly falling and pelting. We have a motion sensor on the light near our deck and it came on and stayed on during the storm, not sure why.
Now the day dawns, a grey-blue, snow still falling, forecast to continue until tonight at least. The ponderosas look like melted tapers. No paper this morning. Not surprising.

Snow continues to fall. Straight down, like rain, not sideways as in many Minnesota storms. It gathers, soft and pillowy over stumps, rocks, steps, decks and driveways. This is wet, heavy snow and it weighs down the ponderosa branches.
In the Denver area many trees have already leafed out and the heavy snow will be hard on them. Up here though the aspen have no buds yet. The willows I mentioned the other day are in the valleys, not this high.

The mountain spring moon is a sliver, 7% of full, close to a transition to new moon. And what do we have? A snowstorm that may produce 1-3 feet, that’s FEET, of snow. Based on what it’s doing right now that might be a low estimate since, according to the forecast, the snow has until tomorrow evening to fall.
And, in other news. I had a distracted day yesterday but today I’m back to normal. Slept fine both nights. Whatever comes, comes. Kate’s a great source of support.

Finished checking my translation of Medea and Aeson, Book VII:159-237. Took a good while, a lot longer than it took to do the roughed out translation, but the work held up pretty well. This time through was especially useful for those areas where I’d had trouble. The context was clearer, having translated most of the story already, and the time away gave me clarity, too.
Design Change.
Spring Mountain Spring Moon.
As you can see I’ve been at it again, trying to get a Colorado design for Ancientrails. I really appreciate all the feedback I’ve gotten and if you have more…let me have it.
This iterative process will not last long, so I hope you’ll bear with me as I try to come up with something that works well.

On Saturday I began going back through the material I translated, checking definitions, grammar, using Anderson, a commentary, as a guide. Now I’m trying to produce a translation that’s as good as I can do. That takes longer than just translating, at least for me, and for sure at my current level. At another point, not yet, I plan to revisit the idea of a commentary; this time though, at least at first, for only one book, not all 15.
Transforming. Again.
Spring Mountain Spring Moon
Got several comments about the changes to Ancientrails. Font too small. Background made the text hard to read. No links for the title. So, I decided to try a version of the WordPress theme I’ve used before. I just wanted something fresh for Colorado. Please let me know if you find any problems here. I’ll try to fix them.
BTW: The new header is a frieze of Demeter, Persephone, Hades
Imbolc Settling Moon II
All the boxes with journals and all the boxes with novel notes and manuscripts have been consolidated. Boxes with material that might go into the horizontal file are consolidated, too. From this point I’ll need some new storage options before I can do much more. Built in bookshelves and cabinet space will work, but they’ll take awhile to get in place.
Milestone
Winter Settling Moon
Milestone yesterday. All books unpacked. All my novel manuscripts, research files, other files are still in banker’s boxes, but they are all near the horizontal file cabinet where the research files will live when I get to that task. The novel manuscripts will remain in their banker’s boxes. An easy filing system for bulky material.
