"I was supposed to control the weather"... Jack and the Wind
Front-Ranger:
THat's beautiful, Scott, and so true. Lat, another window moment I love is when Ennis comes in the house while Alma is washing clothes in the sink and washes his hands, he takes a moment to look out the window. I think he is looking at the sky, and certainly know what he is thinking about!!
Brown Eyes:
Awww.... lovely ideas Lee and Scott! Everything about this thread makes me happy and weepy all at the same time.
:) :(

Oooh, good one, F-R! Is that the scene with the runny-nosed girls, or the one where Alma says "Ennis, do you know someone named Jack?"
And speaking of that postcard scene -- this may not be the thread for it, but what the hell -- I'm always amazed at how well Ennis keeps his composure when Alma says that. Just calmly finishes washing his hands, finally says "Maybe ... why?" Is he afraid to reveal anything untoward? Afraid to get his hopes up? At the very least, I think it's interesting that when telling Alma about his summer on Brokeback he obviously not only didn't give details but never even mentioned the name of the guy he worked with. What are your thoughts?
Front-Ranger:
I was thinking about the runny nose scene, but he also looks out the window that other time, I think both he and Alma look out the window together. It's like a little ritual, wash hands, glance out window, dry hands on butt.

... head off to the back of the house to wring it out.
PS I actually did not modify your post above, F-R -- sorry! I wanted to hit "quote" but accidentally hit "modify" instead. The dangers of having those amazing moderator powers when you're posting late at night ...
