snow fleas and stomach bugs

these dots are moving!
but i did expect it.
the season of snow fleas has come.
they appear on warmish days 
on the snow.
insects. insects!
 i can remember the first time i saw them
how weird i thought.
 but today
home with an insect of my own,
stomach bug we say,
i went to fetch the mail
between shivery spells
and spotted them spotted all around my stoop.
so i brought out something precious
snow fleas and a gift
the wind puffed
the gift folded
bifolio and fleas?
~~~
the fleas, well the fleas
who knows what those creatures are about?
and this little stenciled piece
from bryan
i will write more later
when my very own specific bug
settles down.

over 777, geesh!

this morning's post
all about drawing with 
barbed wire on snow
was number 777.
besides that, what i didn't tell you
was that today was almost wendy's last.
but she rallied.
i stayed home making preparations
but the day became 
just a day (though i am very tired)
outdoors
i found one of my favorite funny wintertime things
snow fleas.
yep.
ski print, detritus,
and snow fleas
 i haven't figured out the new zoom 
 on the repeat of my old camera
 walking wendy later on
we found a curlytop
(i love my tools)
this came in the mail 
a couple days ago.
i'm rich in friends.
