Preparing for Winter

Well, it’s that time of year again. Even though I haven’t yet felt the turn toward fall—in fact it still feels like high summer to me—it is time to start thinking about bringing in wood for the winter. Every year I am so grateful for my neighbor, Walter. He works incredibly hard going up to the mountain to cut and haul wood. And I buy five cords from him.

He started delivering my winter’s supply the other day and I had to acknowledge that a change is definitely on the way. Some good news: all indications are that we’re going to get a lot of snow this year. My fingers are definitely crossed.

So, as I revel in these final days of summer, taking in the monsoons with deep appreciation, I know that the snow days are on the way. And I will have plenty of good wood to warm the house and you all know how much I love those snow days.

Here’s to a mug of hot coffee, a fire blazing in the wood stove and snow all around.

Thank you, Walter, for making it all possible.

Love to you all,
Jeane

About Me

About High Road Artist IMG 9461 150x150I am Jeane George Weigel, a working artist living in the mountains of northern New Mexico, and I do not think you and I are so different.

Every single one of us longs to know what we ache for, to “follow our bliss” as Joseph Campbell famously put it. You may find yours as an artist, a writer, or a teacher. But I am convinced we all yearn to live what is in our hearts. Some of us spend a lifetime discovering what that is. Some never find it.

This blog is about a journey of self-discovery, yours and mine. I write about the experience of living an artist’s life and share musings and photos as this living experiment unfolds. It is my hope you’ll join in the conversation by writing to me about your lives and I dearly hope something, here, will inspire you.
