Always a great way to start out the day…
I’ve been very inspired lately by paint and canvas. I have 3 canvases drying. Wow! That has never happened. Can’t wait to show them…

I’m slow at getting my post up today for T stands for Tuesday. I decided that I really needed to get to the gym…for the first time in longer than I’d like to admit. I certainly knew it when I got there…yikes. Out of breath and out of shape.
I also stopped by for a visit with my knitting group…it’s been a while since I’ve been there as well. In fact, they had a new member. It’s always fun to meet someone new with like interests.
So yesterday I was compelled to create something for a friend. I haven’t given it to her yet but she has so much on her plate at the moment that I know she’ll never stop by here before I get it to her.
Here’s the finished piece…
Thanks for stopping by today.Just an FYI…I generally don’t answer T Tuesday comments with a personal email back but I do visit and leave comments on the blogs listed if I am able.
What are you doing today?

I know it doesn’t look very “snowy”. The reason I say I was inspired by the snow was that this canvas had a painting that used very dark colors. I’d been leaving it for a few days trying to decide if I was done. Turns out…I wasn’t. It needed to light and bright like snow. I thought I was going to save a bit of the original inside the circle but in the end I covered the whole works. I really like it now. So glad I let myself sit and stew on the original.So where does the snow come in??
Well, where do I start? We got over 9 inches on Thursday night into Friday. Another snow day for the kiddos. They’ll never get out of school at this rate. This storm followed one that dumped around 6 inches on Monday.
See this pile…I used it to stand on to pull snow off the roof. Little J got a real nice shot of the avalanche.
You may recall my garden box along the deck…
This is the current view from the garage…. 
This storm created the most treacherous driving conditions that the state patrol has seen in 25 years according to news reports. I was worried about Mr. G driving but he made it safe and sound….just late.
The snow is pretty and the kids enjoy playing in it…and it makes a pretty good canvas for snow doodles curtsey Little J.
Me…I’m ready to hang up the Sorrels and Carhartts for the season.
