The weather in New England has been very weird. So not what we had been spoiled with for the last few years.
Icy underfoot has kept me walking on dirt paths. Here and there in the yard. To take Brady out and to feed the birds.
Today I said lets go find a ice free spot we both need a walk.
It was 14 degrees F but bundled up we drove to the local church lot. We walked carefully avoiding the icy spots. Then drove home which was 70 degrees F. :)
I painted yesterday and today. Same topic matter but totally different techniques though both in watercolor.



Odd right? Flowers in this dreadful weather? I guess I am thinking of gardens.
Have a wonderful night and a great week ahead.

Brady is in a contest if you can cast a vote for FREE we would love one.
Thanks in advance. The link is in orange above not a scam.


I just voted!
Thank you was it free? I only need free votes :) Chewy has a lot of money :) I like that owners can not donate money for votes and this is for fun actually I don’t think he has a shot but he has a great story so thank you again <3
You’re welcome! Yes, the vote was free.
Thanks again.
You’re welcome.
I voted too, Eunice. I would love to be able to paint on wintery days xx
Thanks so much it was a free vote right I do not want anyone paying xo Paint on a hot summer night xo
My dogs are mad at me. They snuggle by the door and give me the look. But the ice and the wind and the temperatures have kept me inside.
However, there’s a rumor started by the weather woman that we will hit 32 F. today, so I might just call the driveway guy and have him sand.
I need the walk too!
Absolutely! We will hit 40 they say Friday and Sat. but night time back into the 20’s and refreeze. I hate feeling trapped. Ron has a 4×4 so we will go without nothing but this cleaning while my car can’t get out easily is wearing thin like our pups patience. <3 Be careful when moving about. I will take the tractor out if it looks like I can break through areas of ice but without chains(I will have bought some before next winter) all I do is slide.
Went out for a test walk – clumpy ice under the new snow. Yuk. Staying in!
Take care!
You too more crap coming through tonight then a bit of that warm up. Stay warm. I have to have a heart test tonight at 6:30 hoping to beat the nasty stuff on my ride home :)
Kindred spirits, I have a heart test on Monday! Just a routine base line thing, but still giving me the jitters, probably not the best reaction!
Did mine tonight results from echo in my portal but unable to read them yet. Mine was painless just laid there while they used something like an ultrasound. Will be thinking of you. I have a scary lung CT on Thursday 8 am but hey it is out of my hands I wanted everything checked before my 70th in March :)
A wise move! What day is your birthday?
It’s withdrawal symptoms from not having any flowers outside. 😆 So recreating them on paper is such a lovely way to get through winter, with all your ice and slush. Take care Eunice!
Thanks you must be right and my Florida brother said paint flowers like mom said to. :) Ice tonight then temps rise a bit through Saturday.
Beautiful.
Thank you.
I like your paintings today in particular, as they came as a ray of sunshine on a very gloomy day here.
Thanks so much I was looking for the same joy as I chose which ones to play with :)
Love the painting, Eunice!
Looks like the weather will let me go for a walk on Thursday. I’m chomping at the bit!
The paintings are beautiful. I wanted to vote, but I don’t have Facebook, which is required for authentication. I hope Brady wins. Happy New Year!
