tim
Some people might say that a third pot of tea is too much in one day. But some days just call for it. I made pancakes with blueberries for breakfast, and we're waiting for more snow and rain to begin. The wood has been brought in, Tim just started the fire, and one dog has been walked. We're getting there.
While I sit at the downstairs table and work, I've been watching the birds at the feeder ~ silhouettes of muted color against the snowbanks. They are hungry and flock in when they see me throw seed. It's a cozy kind of day. Tim's all curled up by the fire with a woollen blanket on his lap, reading, and Mimi's doing reconnaissance to achieve his lap.
I'm slowly photographing new work to put into the shop (my art shop, that is) ~
It is just way too easy to stay on the computer during these long winter days. I keep checking out this blog ~ it's summer in New Zealand.
And I've just started the five week course Get Your Paint On, run by Lisa Congdon and Mati McDonough. Just thought I'd shake things up a bit. I haven't painted in a while.
Also, check out the new words to shoot by ~ it's up.
Hoping your corner of the world is filled with sunshine. :)

love that photo of tim. it's as if he knows you're there and watching, but still cares about what's been on his mind. do you usually only walk one dog at a time, instead of both?
He's pretty good at ignoring me when I pull out the SX-70. I usually want him to keep doing what he's doing and he knows that by now. :) And yes, I walk Lucy and he walks Donovan. Sometimes we walk them together down to the park but mostly we each have the responsibility of one. It's always been like that. As a favor one of us might walk the "other's dog" but that doesn't happen very often. He's had Donovan since 8 weeks so they're really bonded. We've had Lucy for 4 years and she's my girl. (They're both 9, and both from the SPCA.) It works out well!
Once again, you have painted the most beautiful image in my head. I like your little ladder- all you need now is a little book shelf to lean it against :)
