…more snow
Since Sunday the snow has come down every day. There’s a good 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) on the ground and it just keeps coming. Andrea and I were going to go for a drive but thought better of it when we checked the forecast.
Olive loves the snow. The worst part for her and probably for her humans is getting dressed to go out.
Once outside you can see from the snow on the railings how much more snow had fallen.

…day three in my art journey
After a relaxing day at the outdoor spa in Collingwood we drove back to the cottage and I pulled out my sketchbook to bc start my third piece of art. This one was more detailed and took some time but I’m loving the process.

…in the dead of winter
It was definitely colder than yesterday, partly due to the winds coming off the bay. I was grateful for the use of Andrea’s hand warmers that slipped into my gloves.
…it’s all about slowing down
My inspiration is from Amy Maricle’s book Draw Yourself Calm.
Day 2 of my art journey in 2025.

When I was 12 years old I knew that I wanted to become a Family Studies (formerly known as Home Economics) teacher. I had been asked to attend an open house at the school and demonstrate what I had learned on the sewing machine. From that moment on I was hooked.
That’s not say that I didn’t have other options. There were moments when I thought I might study medicine but I always came back to teaching. For over 40 years I was a teacher. First as a Family Studies teacher and then a guidance counsellor in Middle school and then a grade 5 classroom teacher. At the end of my career I became the teacher librarian and art teacher for the entire school from JK to grade 5.
My secret fantasy growing up was to become a famous rock or folk singer. Instead I sang with a choir for 27 years.

…it’s been close to a year since I’ve pulled out my art supplies
I’m at my daughter’s cottage for several days and since she’s working up here we both thought it would be a good time for me to start putting some marks onto paper again. I gathered up a few supplies and my mixed media art journal and started with baby steps towards continuing my art journey.
It’s the perfect setting. Quiet and restful with wonderful views of the forest and the falling snow. Here’s my first piece after playing with collage and mark making.
…trios from the pet store
As I explained in my previous posts I haven’t posted anything in over two weeks, due to renovations, family visits from London and illness. So this post is somewhat late but as I have said many times it is not imperative that Thursday Trios have to be posted on Thursday. A couple of days ago I stopped into the pet store to just look around. I quickly realized that I was missing owning a pet but I don’t think we’re quite there yet to take on the responsibility of taking on any kind of pet for awhile yet. We’re hoping to travel some more this spring and pets just complicate the process.
