Seven Week
On Facebook, I saw a lovely picture of lilacs with the note that Spring begins on March 20th just seven weeks from today. If you saw the snow accumulation in my yard this might be unbelievable. Looking forward to Spring, but hoping for a slow melt so that the spring runoff is slow and able to be captured in the local dams and reservoirs.

Winter White
Another winter storm is traveling through the canyon. The landscape is covered in winter white, a thick blanket of snow.

Avian Calligraphy
Under the bird feeder, footprints crisscross the new dusting of snow an avian calligraphy of stories that I am unable to read.

Continuing
With the celebration for the coming of a new year, we often reflect back on the year passing. Instead of making unrealistic resolutions, I have decided to continue. Continue my enjoyment of creativity, my search for the beauty displayed around me and to take time for simple pleasures.
My first simple pleasure for the new year, is the placing of clean, fresh sheets on my bed. I look forward to crawling in to them this evening at bedtime.
As for beauty, Northern Utah is plagued this time of year with temperature inversions. Over the years, the have spread their reach farther up the canyon. We woke this morning to weak sunlight trying to break through the fog of the temperature inversion. But we also woke to the beauty of the trees frosted with ice crystals.
And I believe this short note may suffice as an attempt at enjoying creativity. Although, I am ready for any other creative pursuit that may come my way, along with simple pleasures and touches of beauty.
