Back to work! Yeyyyyyy!

I am very happy to announce that I am back in my studio, back with my waxes and dyes, and fragrances and already thinking seriously about new challenges, new ways of expression, new horizons.

 After going through a big change in my life of moving from sunny wonderful southern California to wintry, bleakly cold yet exciting in all the new adventures and beauties I have to discover, Pennsylvania, , I am slowly but surely settling down and finding my place, my space.

In the last seventeen years we have lived in ultimate weather. At first in the central valleys of Costa Rica and than in Southern California so weather-wise we went low but we have already seen the great compensation in living in the vicinity of the biggest most wonderful cities in the U.S, surrounding by historic marks, older cities and towns, really big old trees, great rivers,

all range of unknown birds and, forests, in short, a lot to explore.

So we will get some warmer clothes and get used to the cold, in the end summer will come to us if not sooner, later and we have still to expect the explosion of bloom around us.

There are so many things yet to learn and we do learn new things every day. Have you ever heard of "Onion Snow"? Well apparently the snow we got a week ago was that kind of snow.

According to my Google search:

 "Onion snow" is a regional term used primarily in the state of Pennsylvania, referring colloquially to the final snowfall before the end of the winter season. Some sources indicate that the onion snow typically occurs after the traditional time for planting spring onions, while others state that onion snow is an indicator of when the appropriate time has arisen to plant onions. In either case, onion snow is defined as a light snow that melts quickly. This regional expression is said to originate from the so-called Pennsylvania Dutch culture and language."

So there you are, it is time to plant some onions already as well as to go watch the Cherry trees blooming in Washington D.C. It is time to go in a sunny warmer day with an opened roof in the Audi to learn some incredible chapter in the American history about the Gettysburg address of the great Abraham Lincoln in the place where it was given,

where everyone live with the big words, beliefs and sacrifices every day year after year, because all the ghosts will never let anyone forget.

And so with the "onion snow" still in my aching bones

and the Cherry blossom yet to come one of these days,

I am cooking and pouring my latest

 candles.
