Monastery Wall


We have had some much-needed, beautiful, hard rain! (For a larger view, click on the photos.)
 

It looks like Life had much fun overnight on Mojo (our beloved truck). As the precipitation rapidly alternated between rain and snow, the snow on the windshield slipped down, inch by inch, staying frozen in the process.

And creating this delightful snow-roll.
 

It’s a wonder to watch Life find every now-moist place to seed itself, such as this tiny crevice on a porch chair.

When the temperatures dip below freezing overnight, we occasionally get the treat of exquisite designs frozen into the courtyard stream.
 

On this morning, the conditions were so perfect, so rare, that just the outline of this geometric shape was frozen, while the insides of it remained liquid. No reason to be bored—EVER!
