January Is Almost Over

This first month of the new year seemed to fly by for me. 

I had time for art.

I kept in touch with son Ryan by text message exchanges.

Pittsburgh has had its share of cold days with snow.

He is contemplating a move to a different state.

I would love for him to move closer to home.

Miss him!

Granddaughters have made the month extra special.

Etta is full of energy and mischief.

Tallulah is sweet and very affectionate.

 These little ones are growing and changing quickly.

 Time moves at a fast pace or so it seems to me.

See you in February. 

It's a New Year with Snow

 I thought I'd type in blue to honor January. When I was teaching almost every January bulletin board had a dark blue background paper with a large snowman. The school kids and I always hoped for a snow day. Now that I'm much older the excitement of snow is somewhat different. From the comfort of my warm house I watch the beautiful falling snow and do not make big plans to be outside.

These three snow pictures were taken from inside.

Looking out the front side door

A snow cake formed on the patio table.

I snapped this photo from the kitchen window.

Brrr

Time today in the art room to work on this fun bowl of fruit

   

How are you spending your January days?
