Finding the Lovely

We had a bit of a snow storm overnight with gigantic snowflakes....bigger than I have ever seen before! I snapped a couple of photos of the snow outside my door. So much for the mild winter we've been having here in the midwest. I kind of knew it was too good to be true.

Friday Fill-Ins

And...here we go with Friday Fill-ins.. . .

1. Finally, it's starting to get a littler warmer outside.

2. Walking everyday sure takes some getting used to!

3. Dad says: You can never have enough light bulbs stockpiled.

4. Hanky Panky is my favorite nick name for Hank, my grand dog.

5. It took a long time, but I'm starting to create again.

6. I have too many art supplies, though I wouldn't have it any other way.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to possibly going to Barnes & Noble, tomorrow my plans include washing the car, and Sunday, I want to clean my studio!

Friday Fill-Ins

Starting this week I'm combining two challenges on Fridays. A few weeks ago I began participating in Friday Fill-Ins which has been a lot of fun. Today, I am also joining in on Jeanne Oliver and Kimberly Taylor's brand new photo challenge for February called Finding the Lovely, which you can read about here.

The weather has been so mild here in the midwest that I guess the plants are as puzzled as I am by this winter. This week I noticed the tiniest of green poking through the earth next to my front door. Today there were flower buds showing too. I know that Snow Drops are one of the earliest of bloomers here in Zone 5, but the first week of February seems ridiculously early even for these hardy little guys!

So here we go with my Friday Fill-Ins. . . .

1. When it comes time to make a decision, I have difficulty doing it.

2. Be kind to others - that must be the rule.

3. Ma says, always wear clean underwear.

4. I listen to my iPod at the same time as I walk.

5. I never saw a unicorn.

6. The light bulb is not a new invention.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to eating leftover ravioli, tomorrow my plans include lunch at Panera and Sunday, I want to go to the flea market!
