Winter Polar Vortex, Paintings and CoLd

 


Pic taken Sunday evening.

Don't be fooled, that is not
SNOW,
it is ice.
Not like rain ice but ice pellets.

Pics below taken Monday afternoon.
Still, its ice. 



Monday evening around five, I
heard the sleet hitting
the window yet again.

This was our ice measurement. 


Then FINALLY, the snow
arrived. 
It has stopped now, but we
are to get more for tomorrow.
No pics as of yet.
I will not be out sledding tomorrow
but I plan on making a snow woman,
if we do get more snow. 

What did I do today since I 
was iced in?
I painted yet again today.
Small 5x7 size, fun paintings.

Number 1

Number 2


Number 3


The other day I filled balloons
up with water and food color.
I know, looks like Christmas but
this was the only two 
colors I had.

I want to put them in the yard but
I have steps going off the deck,
steps going off the front porch 
and asphalt out the den or
garage...and I was not venturing
out on all that ice. 

Thinking spring ....and winter
happens.


This was coffee time this cold 
morning.
 

And for our cold night,
hot chocolate.


9:20 pm
Monday 2/15/21
18 degrees
feels like 7.
(when writing this)
However, this morning, 
Tuesday- temp is 10
with a feels like of -3.
YIKES...
not going out to build a snow
woman today!

Brrrr.....



Stay warm.
Stay safe.
Stay in.

You are voicing what many are voicing. I'll tell you that yesterday hubby and I ventured to the grocery store and there were blossoms all over the almond trees. It was cold, but not your kind of cold.

Love your paintings. Beautiful.

Have a fabulous day and stay warm. Scritches to all the furbabes. ♥

The cold temps and ice seem to be the talk of blog land. We have it here too but we're more used to it than some. At least you can stay inside where it's safe and warm. I really wished I could have stayed home this morning instead of venturing out to work.

I live in the deep south so no snow or ice for us, but we've had lots of rain and I'm sick of it! At least snow and ice look pretty:) Hope you are all stocked up on supplies so you won't have to go out in the mess, but if you do I pray you are safe and sound back home soon. Take care and stay warm.

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...

Coffee Table Redo

Image
Morning all. Couple weeks ago I found this at a neighbors home put out on the side of the  road. Loaded it up in my Prius. It was heavy and LONG.  Standing it up next to me it comes to my shoulders and I am 5'2. My daughter Amber had told me just that week that she needed a coffee table. I think it was meant to be! Basic maple with a traditional  look and a formica top. that you can't do much with. So after checking with my daughter to be sure size would not be a problem I got to work. I built a frame. My thoughts were that if I made a frame and attached wood to that I could slip it right over the top of the existing table top.  Oops....forgot a step... before making the frame I spray painted the base in an ivory color.  Now with that step added in I  move on to what it looks like with the wood attached  to my frame. It slipped right over the top ...

Playing Around with the Camera

Image
Its been a while since I played with water.... photographing water that  is.  Not pleased with what I  turned out but.... I played anyway. Went home today to piddle at my house but once I got back I  took the camera out around the yard here at my brothers and got some cool pics... then I came in and played a bit with dried fruit. And not so dried!  haha Decided to play with Lori's perfume bottles again. Love this shot up against the  tile. We had a couple of good little storms move in today. During one good rain I  went out with a plastic bag over the camera and took this shot. Thanks for stopping in,
