Grey again today. No sun now since Sunday. Ice storm Wednesday night. Drove
home to my place ten miles north of Ames on an "ice rink" caliber road with
a wretched east wind that kept blowing me to the left side......slow
driving. Another winter storm of ice and snow predicted for tonight and
tomorrow. We here in Iowa think that this kind of weather builds character.
A questionable assumption.

But even the grey days carry their own intrinsic beauty. Another thing we
learn in Iowa is to appreciate the subtle beauty of the land and sky and
weather.

This has been a great week with this seminar. Totally enjoyable. My thanks
to my good friend John and his support team. Bless you all and happy
solstice.

Late November rain
Underfoot ice. Stone quiet.
No cricket sound.
