Spring (mercifully) has arrived! Today at 12:57PM EDT !!!
In reality, I love Winter; it’s a great time of the year for slowing down and turning inward, and diving deep into replenishing undercurrents of rest and dreams. It’s a season where all the extraneous stuff seems to just fall away (trying to stay warm tends to do that**). This year though, an extended January thaw settled in, and Spring was so palpable that I got a little ahead of myself, and it took awhile to remember the season ebbs and flows like no other.
Then along comes a February day and you’re out shoveling snow, and realize the sun is warm and there’s no wind and you don’t need a jacket, or a shirt for that matter and before you know it, you’re shoveling half naked. And you remember summer days, and ready for them.

There are many things I like about this image; for one, it’s such a non-business use of the sign, and in that way reveals something about Yankee practicality. The shot was taken with a Fuji 6×7 film camera twenty or so years ago, a few steps away from the Mohawk Trail, otherwise known as Route 2. The road follows a Native American trade route that linked Atlantic tribes with those in upstate NY. Vestiges of that era remain – this place sold all sorts of leather goods including moccasins and warm rabbit’s fur winter hats.
