The morning had been cold and murky like the frothy, muckiness of a stagnant pond. We drove out early in an old long bed Chevrolet, pulling our diamond plated two axle trailer. We were finally picking up a load of our new premium Earthtone Brown Alabaster. We would be loading the stone and sending my brother Nathan Cowlishaw on the road in the morning. It was bitterly cold with a wind chill of about 10 degree F. The wind was picking up and the forecast was snow. As we neared our destination the sun cut through the dreariness and lit up the valley in patches of warm light.
We stopped, even in a hurry – and captured some of the beauty. It really adds to my day when I get to not only experience and notice the beauty around me but also get to capture it to share with others.
I hope that this image finds you in a time when you may feel like life is a muddled pond; just know that the light always breaks through and there is always beauty in our times of trial.
We got our truck loaded in the anticipated snowstorm. The blizzard rushed in like someone had torn open a large beanbag chair. The snow was little spherical icy balls that matched the Styrofoam innards perfectly. It was a dry-cold snow that bounced off everything and everyone and quickly blanketed the ground. We pulled out with our loaded and traversed the windy mountain pass on a meandering snow-packed highway. The headlights almost made it more difficult to see and we had the opportunity to break the path as we had beat the snowplows to the area.
Our Chevy handled the load well and we arrived safely at a good steady pace. New Mexico – here comes our new stone! I hope you enjoy the work we put in to get this premium sculpting stone into your hands.
