Snowed In...... Again

Shifts of shoveling snow to keep it at bay. Can't settle enough to write, so I'm reading screenplays for new films.

Snow, snow and more snow


Am doing shifts of shoveling with one one lone aluminum shovel, a trusted ten year old simple tool. My neighbors start up their gas powered blowers, or small tractors and I hate the noise of their machine beasts, which ruin the tranquil beauty of the l8' snowscape.

I took this photo last week before the new blizzard. I'll get back there to do the snow version. Once again Mother Nature reminds us we are just little molecules.

Listening to a lovely album by Melody Gardot. It's not lost on me that she was hit by a car in Philadelphia while attending the Art Institute for fashion design. A few years later, with her permanent injuries, she is a darling in Paris for her vocal beauty. It's a wonderful listen and I actually bought this one to keep. The rest of my time is spent with the characters who occupy my mind, one book on teaching art that I am writing (fiction), and a book of short stories. Also, what I hope will turn into a screenplay after it's come out in a fiction form.
