last day’s morning was chill, clear and blessed with Creatures [not shown] under the porch who, making Aggie manic, got everybody up early

…which was fine

as the snow went soon,

followed by helicopters

well one helicopter, anyway.

…and a dazed day’s done,

Painting[s] remaining unresolved, unsolved, etc.

Tuesday as Lefty had a last look I packed up, drowned the two woodrats from under the porch

and headed on down the road[s]

Smoke Creek Road…

Doyle Road…

Hallelujah Junction [395 at 70]

80 West

Heather Glen,

80 west of Sacramento

and back to real world Benicia; Bill’s ’70 at Two Hews Garage

and a boat on the Bay.

Lefty’s left with other things to look at now

while I froze in the studio unable to escape to sunshine awaiting a twice-missed UPS delivery [a common complaint around here, UPS not being compliant with our repeated requests to leave things around back]…which had been unbeknownst rescheduled.   Thursday was considerably improved; the two [!] packages came as I visited Dave the Barber

…and though still freezing in the studio, lunch out compensated warmly.

So, back at it…
