up from the marsh pond
There are backflows of broom and mayweed,
coal rillets
slick on the mine path.
And the bulrush reeds stretch up from the marsh pond
like the stiffened tails of lions.The Ghost Trio, Linda Bierds
We’ve had a run of late winter weather, with a couple of snowfalls well into April. It’s as if snow and winter have come disconnected, with the former starting and ending later than it should. April snow can be pretty, I suppose, but it’s not much fun; the snow pack that made it possible to trudge across the pond on snowshoes is long since gone.

Thanks! Alas, it’s just PS trickery.
I’ve only had two darkroom sessions so far–the problem with my setup is that the coal chute isn’t as light-tight as I’d like, so I can only print after dark, but by the time I’ve finished homework help, baths, and a couple of stories, I’m ready for bed about 8:30 PM.
I’m hoping to get down to the basement this week, or maybe figure out how to secure the old metal doors so I can print on weekend afternoons.
