Oops

I forgot to upload and post last time photos from Kimmel Center's enormous foyer that always has a new installation to see on our trips there for music.

Entirely of thread spools, the Girl with the Pearl Earring is hung upside down.

And a right-side-up crystal ball view was available.

A Saturday overnight at the farm took place this weekend. Alas, no restorative walk in the crusted layers of snow, making treacherous footing. Aidan busied himself shovel-sculpting an ice chair with the packed snow slush.

It's been a long time since I saw The Russians are Coming, the Russians are Coming! Aidan and I streamed it enjoying our cookies and milk together, laughing throughout. I got to thinking it was pretty instructive about the Cold War days putting a face on those times in a satirical way that informs current goings-on with that country now high-jacked by the bare chest guy.

Marge flew in Friday for a weekend here and a couple days work this week at State College. Good seeing her.

A shoutout to Wendy and John who contributed some transport when Marge arrived and her rental car plan had a glitch: Thank You!

It won't be long and Marge's southern climes stay will end and she'll take up full-time residence here again. A nice weather window opened up today for her in-state travels. I hope the weather trend continues so we can see what is beneath all that snow.

Wendy reports mustang Austin was able to get back through the gates into the still snowy pasture where she promptly rolled in the frozen mass to scratch her barn itchiness (despite daily brushing by Wendy).

The Tillandsia continue to thrive in the loft window. Here's one of my little friends with whom I hold occasional conversations...he says they don't mind that I talk to Marge now that she's here.

The fish pond is thawing out again, so I'll soon collect water from it on Tillandsia soaking days. This one pictured with the thicker growth needs once a week; the finer varieties twice a week. Pond water is desirable I learned from my reading because the bacteria feeds the air plants. So we'll see. I hope they aren't insulted with "dirty" water.

Is anybody out there used to Daylight Saving Time? I'm not.

This morning I thought about how our paths cross...
