A picutre after last week's monster storm,
and this doesn't truly reflect
how buried we were.
Even though this wind chime is encased in ice,
I could hear it loud and clear,
indicating a very windy evening last night.
This ice is also a bad sign,
indicating future problems inside....
which is partly why I cleaned and organized yesterday.
Maybe preparing for water leaks,
will be a deterrent in a way.
(fingers crossed)
Tim packed down the snow
so that our feral cat would have
a path to the food we leave out at night.
Tim also feeds the deer,
especially when their food becomes scarce with deep snow.
My son borrowed ladders stored in the shed
to help remove snow from roofs,
and discovered our feral cat is not living under the shed;
but living INSIDE the shed.
That is a relief for me.
The heated shelter is in a perfect spot,
as far as the snow is concerned.
Once the snow melts, this could become
a very wet location.....
"Spooky" comes every night for dinner at least,
even though he prefers the shed to this warm little "condo".
After spending yesterday, organizing and cleaning
my studio, today, I was in the mood to paint.
I looked for some newsprint to protect
my table, and spotted a corner on this sheet
that was really pretty.
So I decided to tear it out,
and collage it into my journal....
To blend the edges, I pulled out more paint,
and glazing medium to slowly build
up the transformation and camouflage
where the edges met.
I pulled out a couple stencils,
and blended some white paint with my fingers.
I experimented with my gel pen,
and found no issues in journaling.
This was a quick, fun
and very unexpected surprise.
The day is young, and this was a
great kick-start to my day.
So maybe I'll play in paint just a bit more,
before I have to tackle the tax return....
