Jack Frost
by Micha F. Lindemans ********************
Jack Frost is a figure from folklore, an elfish creature who personifies crisp, cold weather. He is said to leave those beautiful patterns on autumn leaves and windows on frosty mornings. It is thought that he originated in Norse folklore as Jokul ("icicle") or Frosti ("frost"). In Russia, frost is represented as Father Frost, a smith who binds water and earth together with heavy chains. In Germany however, it is an old women who causes it to snow by shaking out her bed of white feathers.

I love these pictures! It almost looks like paisley or a window from a gothic cathedral. Hope all is well back yonder with you and yours. Not any news out this way. Brian's been applying for 3 to 6 jobs every day but we still haven't heard anything back. My hands are magenta from dyeing some yarn. That's about the extent of our excitement. Hee. Talk w/you later.
