The Lull Before the Storm
The weather people are predicting another big snow. 8-10 inches are possible, so we're getting prepared around here, as best we can. The other day, Buck took a tumble on the ice--he wasn't hurt, thank heaven--and couldn't get up. The Canadian Wrangler spread salt and...
Buckling Down
That's what I'm doing, here on the Triple L. Buckling down to some hard work and crazy hours to meet my deadline.Busy as I am, I make time for my art, because for me it's a necessity.I didn't make that trip to buy the art magazines, though. The roads are pretty iffy...

I LOVE Snow…

Home Again
I made it! I'm home in Spokane, arriving yesterday evening in a flurry of snow. As we left Seattle, we were warned that we might not be able to land here, and would have to return to Sea-Tac, but thank heavens, it didn't happen. Today, it's a winter wonderland out...
Raindrops
I can hear the rare Santa Monica rain pattering on the roof top as I write this. I'm at Wendy and Jeremy's place, having spent Christmas with them, and I slept in the loft room.I feel completely restored--no trace of the pleurisy, thank heaven. We opted out on the...
