One of the joys of a residency is the little family that forms when you live and work with other artists. But it also comes at a cost, when everyone leaves at the end. I will miss you all very much. Some things that will stay with me:
• No snakes! (they were all sleeping in the cold) Oh, except that little one in Patti’s studio, yikes.
• Huge starry skies and the full moon on snow-dusted hills
• Jam sessions at the Occidental
• Java Moon and King’s
• A last-night Scrabble game (which I won…)
• Home-made cookies on my birthday and salt-roasted pears with caramel sauce last night
• Communal dinner (where I think my nickname of “cumin” originated)
• long underwear and Smartwool socks
• brilliant yellow aspens on brilliant sunny days
• “Strawberry”
• The black pheasant
• Gray kitty
• Pronghorns (antelope) and white-tail deer
• cowboys and pick-up trucks
• pink dawns over the Bighorns
