we've had some beautiful sunny days lately, but today is once again grey. however . . spring is here! yesterday it was 68 degrees and today i think it's supposed to go up to 62.
i finally visited the edward hopper exhibit at the whitney museum on wednesday (it closes march 5th), and on tuesday, valentine's day, i finally made it to the she who wrote-enheduanna and the women of mesopotamia exhibit at the morgan library on my way home from a dental appointment. i have a few photos of the hopper show (i plan to return before march 5th!) and many photos of the she who wrote . . so i hope to post those in the next few days. kendall and i also visited our friend janine in connecticut with aurélien last saturday to sunday. we spent a lot of time outside walking around her community lake and sitting outside around a warm fire.
morgan has been working in beautiful wyoming, babysitting for a family's twins and helping with their ailing dog. i think they all come back this weekend. below is a photo and short video of a brief break on the mountain, finally getting a ski run in:
right now i hear a white throated sparrow singing diligently in the courtyard. this is the first winter that i've heard one consistently all season long. usually their song announces spring for me, so . . this winter has been one long spring with no snow and only a few cold days sprinkled about.
