Just hoping it's a good one.

Every once in a while the earth here still surprises us. We had several small showers yesterday, some fairly forceful, none of them in the original forecast (although they appeared in later version). But yesterday evening, earth and sky and water and light combined to present us with something neither of us has ever seen before: not a rainbow, not a fogbow, just an unmistakable hazy glow of red color and light rising from the mountain slope. It was extraordinary. It eventually stretched all the way to the peak and capped it slightly, but the color never varied; just red.

It felt like a sign, but of what, neither of us has any idea. We're just hoping it's a good one.

Spirit knows we need someting good now. There's so much work to be done, on every front; so much that lies ahead of us these next three months. And Wings needs to be creating more for holiday inventory, but as I've said, he needs to be able to stock up on silver for for that, and with it having tripled in cost just this year, I don't know how we manage it. And we can't do anything at all until I get the quarterly taxes for next year handled, and I'm still a good ways off from that. Meanwhile, he's at work in the studio now, and I'm doing my usual juggling act, trying to make everything work with too few resources.

I posted five new works by Wings three nights ago, here, and four remain available (the iolite ring is sold), plus another new cuff Monday, here. They're all amazing, so go look, share, buy if you're in the market. [If I could sell them all? I could get the taxes off my desk for the rest of the year, and some other stuff, too.] All the other links are here; please, share them too:

  • Sales here
  • Testimonials here
  • Amazon wishlist here (priority is first and foremost, the other ladder and the wheelbarrow);
  • Patreon here;
  • Ko-fi here.

We're still hoping to put aside enough for a new well when the ground thaws enough to drill in the spring, too, Nah, we've given up on the well. No one's available to drill before late next year at the earliest, and this year's tax burden means we would never be able to afford it anyway. But it's even more of a good time to make a purchase, because Uncle Sam is a vindictive colonizer, and my current stress levels about paying it all are off the charts. And there's lots of fabulous work, so please share all of the links.
