A RAINBOW UNDER SNOW, 2010
One month past the winter solstice. Some are looking forward to the warmth and colors of spring, others are frolicking in a foot or more of the white stuff. If you’re from Maine, it’s healthy to be doing both. It’s a kind of coping mechanism for northern dwellers. We humans are poorly evolved for this bi-polar weather. So, year after year we layer-up, strip-down and repeat. Today, the fresh snow is twinkling in the winter morning sun. Later, as the sun sets, the sky will turn a kind of indigo blue that you can only find reproduced in a Maxfield Parrish painting.
MAXFIELD PARRISH, 1949
It will be another few months before spring arrives and I find sure footing on the driveway once again…. But today looks like a frolic in the bright snow kind of day.
A FOREST OF BLEEDING HEARTS, SPRING 2009
Later, as the sun goes down, I’ll watch the sky turn purple and dream of spring as I paw through photographs of warmer times and yard filled with color.

utility.
