"Winter White Lace"
We ... well, I... complain so much about the seasons. When it is hot I want cool. When it is cold I want warm. Well, I went away from the cold last week to where it was HOT. Made me appreciate the beauty I came back to (well, it was 55 when my plane landed so it wasn't hard to appreciate!) Since I got home, we've had snow. A LOT of snow. The 55 degree whether went away and it's been in the 30s. It is pretty, though!
I did this painting today knowing the snow won't be around much longer. In fact, we are going to spend March in Florida so maybe it will be gone when we get back. I will appreciate it for today. As long as I am able to get out the driveway tomorrow that is!
Terry is in Washington this weekend. I am catching the bus to Boston tomorrow to meet him there. Then we will go on to FL on Monday via Memphis. We have a guy coming by to take care of things at our house, all our business is on our laptop computers, the business phones forwarded to Terry's phone and other than the actual inventory which is in WA, so we are going to work from a condo on the beach. Kinda nice to live in this mobile age! ...the variety of things to paint around this wonderful world are limitless...

Side note: Meanwhile as I painted this, a huge earthquake hit Chile. Tsunamis are threatening Asia, Hawaii, west coast, etc as a result. An earthquake hit in Okinawa. As I sit in my little world painting ... life and death goes on around me. People are talking about the "end" of the world. But the message we should all remember is, don't be troubled or look for global signs... instead look inward instead .... Pursue love. God is love. With love there is nothing to fear.
