 The Crocus I am so inspired by all of the green leaves which are coming up, the changes in the light, how many people are out walking despite the overcast skies. I do want to put up a nice video of the Possetorium for you to see very soon, I think that is a fitting beginning to the year, if you think of the year as beginning with the end of winter, as I do. Today I am resting. My family is here from California and we are spending the day exploring Cincinnati and enjoying the last days of winter. Back to work tomorrow.  The Light Through The Stained Glass Window I was coming up the steps this morning. I wanted to pack and ship, clean the Possetorium after the first round of moving in, and when I got to the first landing, I saw this. It was the Eastern sunlight streaming through the stained glass window and casting its shadow and reflecting the colors. I thought it was a great reward from a new place for having made it special. Oh, that this counting business would finish sometime. But, there seems to be an inexhaustible supply of things to count and measure and account for and record. Oh, I wish I had a robot which would do this for me. But with diligence it will be over soon and I will be able to take pictures and a video of the new Possetorium. I am so wanting to show it off.  Silver Violets The ice will melt, the lawn will break into little true blue and white flowers, you will find insects buzzing about, and robins will congregate on the grass. I always felt that the year begins in April, but March is when you know that winter can only stay for a little while longer and then he is banished and must wait his turn again.
Let me also say that Doctors Without Borders (Medicines Sans Frontiers) will be very happy, too. Very. I will be giving our contributions to them at the end of the Valentine’s run. Cri de Coeur was a smash hit and I suspect that it will be permanent. Oh, there were a lot more boxes waiting to be opened and put away this morning than there are now. I am very tired from doing my inventory and putting all things in their proper places. More tomorrow. I hope I can finish soon. Inventory is quite tedious.  A bluebird Again there is so much to the auxiliary parts of any business, you feel as if you must flee and hide to do the true work that makes your business your business. I have a full week ahead of me putting away the Possets potions, accounting for all the rest of the things which I moved out of the studio and into the Possetorium last week. There is still a lot to do even if most of Possets is safe and snug in the new possetorium. So good to be there, a much nicer facility. I was enjoying how the floor doesn’t slope down and give you vertigo as it did in the old place, that was really offputting. Bla. I don’t know why but that made me cringe thinking about having to walk around in the old place. You would forget and then your inner ear would say,”You are listing to one side. Look out!” Oh, and I remember watching a rather large bat wheeling around in the halls one evening, they used to crawl in the building through tiny spaces and fly around sometimes. Graceful things, excellent fliers. I don’t think I am going to have that problem in this building. It’s pretty modern and very nice. |

Wednesday Nestled in the Middle of the Week
I am at home now, getting ready to go to work. The sun is just coming up and a train has rumbled by at the bottom of the hill far away. The tracks are right next to my Possetorium, and I love having a calling train rattle and hum by my window. Gives me a thrill in the late winter, or is that early spring? The last of the bottles and containers are put away and counted and now I only have to write down numbers and enter them into a computer.
My office faces the East and that is the first weather I see when I look up. I look out over the former prime airport for the entire of Cincinnati, an old place called Lunken Field. It was the height of modernity in the late ’20’s but now it’s the height of a quaint place which escaped the wreckers ball. Our own Diego Rivera did a set of murals which you see as you enter, a little prop plane is suspended in the entrance, and there is a very good restaurant now, with a lively bar where you can watch the props and fancy corporate jets take off and land.
But I will be indoors, head down, doing my job and being grateful for the opportunity, grateful for spring.
