Resting Potential

The turkey is on the counter, frozen solid. The onions are heaped on the floor of the pantry. Beside them are the potatoes. Above them, on a shelf, is a can of pumpkin pie filling. This is what a physicist would call "resting potential". Tomorrow I will be Edward Scissorhands in the kitchen...chop chop chop!

November

Gray skies and bare silver trees. Settling down, pulling in, thinking about my studio in the basement and the projects that I left on my work table last June, frozen all summer in creative pergatory. Winter squash from the fall harvest is everywhere: on the porch, on the hutch, in bowls on the table... Thanksgiving is Thursday. I love this month.
