Can't believe it's already the 5th of Jan 2012 and I'm just now post a Happy New Years to all of you. It's been said the older you get the more quickly the time goes by. I can't imagine it going any faster than it does now...at 68 soon to be 69! heheheh!!
I've been doing some painting the past couple days after working for weeks creating jewelry to sell at the Christmas Bazaars during Nov and Dec 2011. Now, we've had a little snow (maybe 2.5 inches), and the bitter cold we've experienced the past 2 days has changed to temps in the 40's and promises to be in the high 50's over the weekend. Yay!
We've really had a very gentle winter so far so we can't complain here in the East. My concern is that this will be the trend in the coming years making it difficult for many animals who thrive in the bitter cold. We must get serious about changing things that will help, don't we?
I painted a black and white painting on canvas measuring 18x24" for my dear hubby. He'd loved one I created a couple years ago, but sold to a friend who's actually made arrangements for him to get it in the event she should pass away before he does. What a special friend I have in her.
I thought I'd share some photos of what it looks like here at home after the little snow we had a couple days ago, and of the painting in black and white, and the one I did for my daughter, Missy and her BF for Christmas. She wanted a folksy village of sorts with NO animals. (not even a bird) hehehe!
