Today brought out the sun and melted most of the snow on the ground. Vernon working on the genrator, can't get it to run. Would love to have it the next time we get "snow bound".
We finally got the pine tree off the house, still has to be cleaned out of our yard, but at least it is off the house.
Tomorrow starts a new week, and I hope I can be more productive than I've been this week.
Talk later!

Whew!
At last the tree is off the roof of our house! it has snowed off and on all day, just like March weather. I think it is ice now, my daughter came over and said the sidewalk was ice and the cars coming down our little lane are driving really slow!
Next time I'm where I can find one, I'm buying one of those camp stoves, so we can at least cook if our power goes off again, lol.
Wonder what tomorrow will bring? Just think Monday is Groundhog Day!

Power, Power
We had an ice storm, rain, and snow, and our power went off. We have a heating backup with a Buck Stove and natural gas, so we stayed warm, but no way to cook something hot to eat. One can eat sandwitches so long and you want something hot to eat. After the ice storm, a White Pine tree on our neighbors property, fell on our house. I thought something had exploded like a bomb! I was at the computer next to my bedroom which is where it fell, on my bedroom part of the house. Now to get it removed! There are two more big trees like this one next to this one, I sure hope they fall the other way when they fall! In this picture you can see the ice, but the sun came out today a while enough to melt the ice off the room and tree, so will be easier to remove.

ATC
One of the Painting list's I belong to, is having an Artist Trading Card exchange.
The Coordinator says it can be hand painted directly on the card or we can use a print of a painting we have painted, so I'm doing that. I did some watercolor paintings a few years back and I've made prints from those at Office Max. Then I bought the plastic covers that boys use for their baseball collections to put my ATC's in.
I keep a 3 ring notebook with plastic pages in that I store my ATC's in I've received in exchanges. Get it out often and look at them.
Saturday, and my dining room table is "busy".LOL> I'm not cleaning my mess of cards off, 'cause I'll just get back at it on Monday. Sound familiar? Hope so.
Hope everyone can get out to their Worship places tomorrow and have a great DAY!

TGIF
TGIF not really! Fridays come around too soon anymore. I've been working on
note cards I already have printed up from my watercolors and I'm going to
exhibit them in our Art Gallery in Paintsville. Hope some of them sell.

Wally World
I ventured outside today for a trip to Wal Mart. We were out of Cat food! Can't have that! The snow is about gone, it got up to 46 degrees I believe. I put on so many layers of clothes on and once you get into the store , you are burning up. It was much colder when I left home! Can't win!
My cat food trip turned into a $131.00 tab! If you're like me, you can think of all kinds of items you "need" once you get in the store. I take so many Vitimans, that's what runs my bill up, and sometimes I think I'm absolutely "crazy". I never saw so many people shopping, had to park far away, stand in line for eons of time. Every checkout had long rows of people with carts full and running over, I finally found one that said, "10 item or less" and went through, if she had said anything to me about having more than 10 items, I was ready with an answer! lo BTW they didn't have any checkers in the second level of checkouts, you know the ones nearest the outside Isle to go out the door? Of course my list also included some craft items, what is left to buy in crafts.

Bird Watching
I finally caught my furbabies watching the birds at the feeder in the back yard. Do you know how hard it is to get a picture of a cat? Very hard! I just got one pic and Chloe came running to see what I had in my hand! Chloe is on the left side and Misty Bleu on the right. We get a lot of enjoyment out of them. Chloe is always in to something and Misty Bleu is a laid back cat, nothing alarms her! lol. She is my "shelter" cat. We still have some snow on the ground. AWWW Winter! It does bring the redbirds out to feed and they are so beautiful!
