It's a sunny day here on the hill.... and it's hard to believe that it's the last few days of January already.
The paper whites and the hyacinth bulbs I planted in pots indoors; have bloomed and shared their beauty...
and it's almost time to let them rest.
And in spite of getting sick this week... I have rested as well....
and it's been good.

As per my usual weekend post; I've gathered some links to share with you all:

*people who have mastered the art of snow
*artist Henry Darger ... and thoughts on outsider art and mental illness
*artist Spencer Byles
*some cool cleaning/organizing hacks
*some amazing cuteness
*fabric collage artist Maartje Jaquet... and a bit more
*JellyFish!
*artist Ja Soon Kim
*a couple fellow artisans from the PA Wilds: Lynn Kibbe and Ellen Paquette
*a couple blogs I read: Clear North.... and Wink
.... and the songs of the pileated woodpecker. He visited me this week.

I hope you all have a great weekend... and I'll see you all back here on Monday.
