Or at least trying to. I’ve had artist’s block lately. I don’t like it when I’m stumped. I don’t like it when my few short hours to paint is wasted on a bunch of trials and errors because I have no idea where I’m going with a painting. Once it does come to me though, oh sweet satisfaction! One good day of painting can make up for all the bad. Let’s hope this trend continues.

Maybe you have a favorite reading chair, or window seat, or cozy corner to curl up in with a good book, but in my house, here’s the preferred spot:
Comfy? No. Cozy? Somewhat. Warm? Not at all. But preferred by children
and animals alike.
Maybe it’s the built in headrests.

These are blooming in my backyard despite my best efforts to neglect them. It’s probably my neglect that’s keeping them alive. I’ve never really had a green thumb. In fact, I’m pretty sure I can figure out a way to kill a fake plant. I’m so thankful that such beautiful things don’t depend on me to thrive and bloom.

but after looking out the window this morning…
all plans were cancelled.
We’re enjoying a snow day. We’ll craft once it melts.

Because I’m a mean mom, I made my poor dog stand outside in freezing temperatures, looking pitiful while I took her picture.
I couldn’t help myself. Look at that hair! Look at those ears! Look at that dirty window. eek!
Her little pleas didn’t work.
Nor did her pathetic poses.
Even little snide gestures, which made me think my rank as her favorite had changed, had no effect on my opening the door.
What finally did work? Technological difficulties. Call it what you will, a malfunction, a dog’s answered prayer, but my camera froze up, and I was forced to stop this little sideshow and let the cold canine inside.
After this incident and my attempt to cut her nails this morning, I don’t know if I’ll ever be her favorite again. Serves me right I guess.
