Sky is all cream and slate in the morning... passel of soft snowflakes... nothing staying...

And while I spend my morning sneezing into a pile of tissues... Yali occasionally comes back to consult on things like which primary color of face paint crayons should he rub through his hair and should he use sculpting clay before or after the colors and is his outfit for church tomorrow looking good?...

...before joining Oxbear for a pile of morning errands including delivering Patience to the studio for three-plus hours...

In another quiet afternoon for most of it... Patience returns to scrawl out another note to Puck ending it with a... “love Patience your sister... AKA adopted from China if you forgot”...
