January's almost over




January seems to be ending with a rush, as much as you can rush on ice. A little more snow last night, about the same as we got the night before. The nearly full moon's light before dawn came slicing across the landscape like auto headlights coming over a hill on a dark night.

We went to the SW Open School art reception last night and enjoyed the variety of expressions shown there by students and staff (I had one pic there). This is Janis Nowlin's last year as art teacher and she will be HARD to replace.

The Casita seems to be saying it's time to go south! The effect is exaggerated by the five-foot ProPanel pile between it and the house ... the snow that slides off the ProPanel roof after a snowstorm (across the entrance to the carport bays).

Got too much to do right now. Sandy's working on her bum leg to get it back in shape, but properly wary of ice and snow. We're doing the visitor center midday today, and I have an appointment with the dentist to replace a crown that fell off. I also have a meeting with some others to look at some maintenance issues with the Bauer Bank Building, where Artisans of Mancos is housed. And then we're going to try to get to a local performance of Godspell in Cortez this evening.

Last night we picked up tickets for a Michael Martin Murphey show that will be held in Cortez in mid-February ... we've enjoyed his performances tremendously. Unfortunately, it conflicts with the California Guitar Trio show in Shiprock ... which would be a lot further to travel, anyway.

And we've got Valentine's Day coming up, along with the library's annual bake sale (for which I make baklava), the La Plata Paw sled dog events on the 13th and 14th, the "Something" event that Mancos is going to put on the first weekend of March ... and so it goes. We should retire!

In the meantime, we'll go see the 3D "Avatar" tomorrow after picking up Sandy's pictures from the Durango Art Center. Life is good! tv
