What a crazy snow storm! We’ve been hearing…”we’ll be getting a bit of snow this weekend” but then yesterday they started changing their tune…

We’ll be getting quite a bit of snow!

I was up at midnight and the snow was just covering the grassy areas.

This was the view of my garden box at 11AM.

This is what is looked like during summer… just a few short months back.

The snow had pretty much stopped for a little while but has once again started falling. The boys are out cleaning the ends of driveways now that the plow finally went through. Ah…the joys of living in MN, although I can’t imagine it any other way!

that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month?  Well, it IS in case you were confused.  About a week ago, I  added a new badge to my sidebar stating as such…

Breast cancer has special meaning in my life…  My mom is a survivor.  I was actually born AFTER her radical mastectomy…even more shocking was that I was born within that critical 5 year window.  My parents met AFTER mom’s cancer.

All that being said…  Be aware of your “girls”…know your body… something seems odd…get it checked!!
I had my first mammogram at age 26 as a baseline… Nothing to be afraid of. Take charge of your health, of your body…it’s the only one you have!

I will now step down off my soap box and return you to your regularly scheduled programing…thank you and good night.

I thought this was an art blog!!!  For some odd reason, I seem to be making less art than ever lately.
My time seems to be split amongst school volunteering, outside winter prep, my mother’s appts and the dreaded housework, as of late.

I SO need to be creative but the rest of it won’t wait. I’m beginning to get the shakes….

I have been working on some Miniature Terrain, which I have moved off onto a secondary page for those curious enough to venture there. Refer to tabs under title frame if interested….
