    Full disclosure: these were taken in the fall. But...it's pretty much the same scene here right now. Another winter of minimal snow. Not complaining. But stark and strange and dreamy. Oh, Minnesota.

    I want to be standing under that full moon in that field. I think that's the sign of a good picture. :) Very pretty!

    Snow covering the ground here in southern Minnesota with fresh falling this past weekend.

    Beautiful, poetic images, as always, Emily.

      Yes, as soon as I posted these, the snow came. That is how it works in our dear state. :)

    My favorite is the last. I can just hear the grass whispering, "Goodnight, moon." We're in our yo-yo season. Warm, then cold, then warm again, until spring truly comes. There's nothing like living where the warmth of the Gulf and the cold north winds battle it out every year!

    In re: other matters, I woke up this morning not having a clue who won the Super Bowl. What was I doing while this prime cultural event was taking place? Why -- writing, of course.

    Happy spring, happy teaching and happy family to you.

      Ha! I was the exact same with the Super Bowl this year. Normally I'm not quite that oblivious, especially being surrounded by students who do care, but there has just been too much else to preoccupy me lately.

      Glad you like the photos. That moon! It brought me right up into the sky.

Sliding Doors: One Last Glance Toward Europe

We entered the Tube around 9:00 in the morning, a mass of noisy students and a few adults, taking up a section of platform. We had told the teens: "We'll start you on your journey, but you'll have to find your way back. Pay attention." The anxious ones stayed near us, the eager ones studied the green and red and blue and yellow lines on the wall map. "We'll need the Circle Line," one said, and after nodding, we passed the phrase among us like bread, or sweets, so when the train arrived, and the sliding doors opened, we all walked through them with enough nourishment and energy to know where we were going . Later, we stepped out of trams into the high Swiss landscape at Pfingstegg Station. After London, most of the kids didn't even look at the trail map. They just started up. One foot in front of the other, one sore-muscled groan after the other, a collection of revelations. We walked under rock ledges and over small streams.  We talked abo...
