I'm Back

I'm back! After a bit of a hiatus, and problems with the server, I am finally able to post to my blog again.

Winter doesn't seem to able to loosen it's grasp of Minnesota. I love Winter, but I am really over it and very ready for Spring. I have started herb seeds on the heated floor in my studio. It's my first time and I find it fun and addicting. I'm looking forward to getting some tomatoe seeds, peppers and maybe I'll try some perennials, too. It's Spring in my studio in spite of the Winter Storm Warning that we have in our forecast. Hope you're enjoying sunshine where you are reading this.

It's a Beautiful Day

Being a true Minneso(stretched out, long O sound)tan. I love this morning. The wind blew all sorts of designs into the new snow we got yesterday. Despite the below zero temps the sun is shining brilliantly. My studio is toasty warm. The snow is sparkly and fresh. The drifts have created all kinds of relief sculptures among the tops of he plants I see from my living room window. I much prefer this to the gray, dingy, shrunken piles that lay on the ground a couple days ago. Sure winter is long, but this is absolutely beautiful.
