Cricket. Cricket. Cricket.

That for me is the sound of silence. The sound of crickets. Especially in winter. And on my blog for the last many months.
We face a rainstorm today - up north it is another foot of snow. Much has changed in my life of late - most notably my acceptance to the MFA in Visual Arts program at the Vermont College of Fine Arts. It is a low-residency program so no need to sell house/give up job. (Phew!) So I return to reading Roland Barthes and my other art/lit crit friends. Oh - and buying boots and a good winter hat. Brr. At least I love to ski!
