Mother Nature's Blessing

The snow, however beautiful, caused the Meet the Artist day at Tidal School Winery to be a no-go.  I was soooo looking forward to hearing the jazz band. One week to the day- the snow plow came out to our county road. Neighbors with tractors did their best on our private road. Mother Nature blessed me with the time to stay snuggled in a warm house painting to my heart's content since we were snowed in. I worked on a winter scene- while sitting in front of my small space heater of course. With family here to cook and clean it couldn't get any better. Kids are going to their first day of school. Another storm coming in today so we had to dash to town to pick up necessary items. Dark chocolate, pop corn, hot chocolate, hot spiced cider! It is all about priorities. Hubby made a wonderful pot of hearty soup to last a few meals. The easel is calling again...must paint!
