tea and mimi
I'm waiting on my second pot of tea but Tim has taken the electric kettle to melt the ice out front. This morning I took a walk to see the ice-clad trees, and slid my way down the sidewalk under the drips through a foggy landscape. Cardinals are so stunning against the white.
Back to the house to finish a little painting ~ I kept dipping my paintbrush into my tea.
These feathers are for a show next month.
I think I'll make chocolate chip scones later on, and do a little of this.

I love the sound of ice-clad trees. There are none here, though I did see two icicles on a tree this morning. It was most unexpected.
Enjoy your second pot of tea!
Thanks! I will. :) Ice is all melting now, due to a rise in temperature ~ there is much dripping...
those feathers are gorgeous!! so beautiful... such nice work. we've got wind swaying all the trees here. no icicles... i am about to step out with a layer of sunscreen on my face :) enjoy your cozy evening!
pretty :) so delicate looking and even better to know they have been graced with some very yummy tea. how can i get your blog to talk to my email when you write a new post? i tried subscribing, but it obviously didn't want me :( because i never receive email alerts...any ideas? if not, i'll just keep stalking facebook for glimpses of a new blog post.
Jojo ~ Thanks! Sounds nice where you are...
Jenna ~ I don't know how to do that. If you "follow" a blog on blogspot ~ click at the top left of the page, then when you go to your "dashboard" (upper right corner of your blog after hitting "design") it'll show updates from that blog. I don't know how to get email updates. Hmmm. I usually just bookmark blogs I check on and get to them that way. :)
the feathers looks so pretty
i'm enjoying a spicy mug of tea myself-- just now. nothing like it on a cold afternoon.
also-- discovered "downton abbey" via a link on your blog a few weeks back and am HOOKED! so sad that i'm up to the final available episode.... it's brilliant! thanks for the lead :)
Thanks, Lotte. :)
Alfie ~ I am so hooked!!! I won't say a peep about what happens in the final one...I just love Maggie Smith ~ have you seen Godford Park? Brilliant also. I love Mr. Bates' character...it's all so good.
i'm savoring the final episode...watching it in 30 minute segments! i discovered that they'll be taping a second installment which will air in the fall! can't wait!! and- no- i haven't seen gosford park! i can't wait to check it out.
I love Gosford Park ~ such a stellar cast. It's a good one to watch with the commentary on at some point, to learn about all the details and time period inside info. :) I'm really looking forward to the Part II of Downton, too.
Your painting is gorgeous!
Oh! oh! oh! Your feather paintings are so gorgeous...I just have to say oh! once more. A show next month sound good....
We had sun today and the crescent moon showed herself tonight, flying high above Jupiter...happy~making :~)
Thank you, Kerri!
Helen ~ thanks :) I saw the sliver moon last night too: so beautiful with flocks of birds flying above it. I love the full moon but there's something tugging at me about the first sliver moon.
The feathers are stunning. Not copies of feathers, but the ESSENCE of what a feather is. I love them. Where will they be shown?
All joys to you,
