my fingertips froze in the springtime shiver
an old fisherman told me that whatever the weather
"you gotta take all you got and give 'er"
if you don't mind being alone
take the long way home
it's not hard to get lost
(let me count the ways)
some days are diamonds
and some diamonds are days
they cut deep to remind you
how thin the surface, how soft the skin
there is no pity that pleasure can't heal
a wired desire that will teach you how to feel
a true story standing on the outskirts of the real
a seal that was broken
to let out the sorrow left unspoken
unwoken lives that need more than the facts
(that's not always that)
I walked up the ice of the snowy river
with a shoe full of rocks and a soul full of slivers
I scrawled my thoughts in the margin
of a windswept Spectator
as my fingertips froze
in the springtime shiver...

Springtime Roses by Martina Weber (Chatelaine). Stitched on Vintage Green Belfast Linen; with all the recommended threads (mainly DMC along with Waterlilies Mountain Meadow; TGS Honeyed Turquoise and some Rainbow Gallery PTB).
Stillwater County. View of I-90 and the Springtime area from the Springtime Road west of Columbus. Sited along the former Northern Pacific line (now Montana Rail Link) and near the Yellowstone River, Springtime had a post office from 1916 (August 11) to 1932 (June 15). Nelson Miller served as the first postmaster. The Springtime name came from the developers of the townsite.
These were taken using a Pentax 85mm f/2.2 Soft focus lens. It was designed to have a ton of under-corrected spherical aberration. As such, it's depth of field is extremely deep, even wide open (if you don't understand how this can be, ask and I'll try to explain, or point you to someone who has already said it well). I find if I focus close and let the back edge of what is in focus barely touch the subject, the background _finally_ drops away. Messing with the aperture, of course, adds another dimension of possibilities.
The real reason I wanted to write something in these comments/descriptions is that this Pentax lens came mounted with a Nikon F-mount bayonet. It's the only Pentax K-mount lens I've so far seen remounted this way. I don't know if Pentax made a series of Nikon F-mount (never heard of it before) or if this was just a very good job done in a shop somewhere.
Glevum Games "The Glevum" Jig-Saw Puzzle no 2528
465 pieces, used and with one piece missing
18 x 14 in
Glevum Games was operating from 1894 until 1954, when they were taken over by Chad Valley. I believe this puzzle to be from nearer the later date as there's an image of the jigsaw on the box.
