friends

i'm a woman who is richly blessed in friends.

often, they surprise me.

(sometimes they scare the living daylights out of me)

 though the year is light in snow, 

there is some ice

at raven pond.

 the bramhalls are busy

 as far as i know neither 

is of inuit heritage

but there is a long tradition of 

 harvesting ice in the north country.

 there is serious ice construction

underway.

a little glimpse into the north country.

a good place

to make friends, 

some who are here.

and some in the ethers, elsewhere.

for my friends, i send you these photos

from pat and butch, 

through me, 

to you

happy sunday.
