Storms

With all the storms moving through here in the past few days, we have had some interesting skies.  Although I'm ready for sunshine, these skies are far better than a washed out grey any day of the week, which is what we have again today.  You would think that my longing for blue skies would steer me towards color photos, but I just loved these in black and white.
An interesting yin yang split.

I love when light, bright, puffy clouds are layered over top of dark, stormy looking ones.

There was so much movement and so many textures.



Clouds can be so majestic.

    You certainly have had a variety of clouds. We have been ultra sunny with nary a cloud in the sky the past few days.

A Blog Event That Caught My Eye

This looked like a ton of fun, so why not? I started a blog as a way of introducing myself to those who wanted to get to know me better than what my little Etsy shop offered. I had absolutely no idea where it would go, how long it would last, or if I would get any response. As it turns out, none of that matters. I just love to do it. And I love reading the blogs of others as well. It's far better than TV. Click on the picture for all the details, and to register your blog. Here is what I'm offering up as my giveaway. A stone necklace with various findings. All findings are silver plated and it has no clasp because it measures a long 33 inches. I can not wait to see what everyone else is doing.

Snow Day!

It has been a wonderful, drawn out fall.  I've enjoyed easy walks around my yard well into December, and more time outdoors than I usually get during these first two winter months. This balance between indoors and outdoors is essential to keeping me feeling good.  I hate being cooped up in the house for too long without a breath of fresh air.  It makes me tired, and I'm a grouch when I'm tired. Yesterday, Old Man Winter decided to correct his oversight in our corner of the world, and deposited between 6 and 8 inches of snow.  It looked light and fluffy, but it was actually very dense and it took a lot of work on my husband's part to tidy up the driveway. The prairie I walk in out back was so completely whited out, it seemed as though I was getting nowhere, even though I could clearly feel the muscles in my legs straining to get me through the snow.  It is actually quite dizzying to be looking at nothing but pure white and trying to move forward.  I had ...
