It makes me very restless.<br /><br />It has been a long, cold winter here in Missouri, but I was reassured that Spring is on the way when I heard a pair of horned owls calling to each other the other night. That means they have come back to their nesting territory. My reasoning is, if birds (of any kind) are getting ready to nest, Spring can't be long in coming.<br /><br />I hope that the wind there will calm down. Take care.susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-58287341682338125722014-02-13T14:37:35.167-08:002014-02-13T14:37:35.167-08:00You were certainly having me being rather insightf...You were certainly having me being rather insightful right along with you here !

I have often wished I could paint the sights around here, too. <br />I do hope you stay safe in the awful wind. Your weather sounds worse than ours.<br />We are currently in the midst of winter storm Pax. I have no idea why they name the storms now.<br />At least 18 inches of snow and wind and very cold temperatures. We were only able to do morning chores after digging our way to the barn by flashlight. Next week we are to have temperatures in the 50's, so we will exchange our snow for mud.<br />Oh well...one day closer to Spring!

I would love to be able to paint well myself - at least the course I am working on has helped me to improve my sketching.<br /> I thought of you and wondered if you were affected by that awful storm which hit the north so badly.

Here in Michigan, our winter has been so cold and the snow so deep that the deer have been silently coming up and eating the bushes around the house. I looked out the bedroom window during the night and, in the moonlight, could clearly see two deer silhouetted against the snow directly below me. I left them to their feast. <br />I am glad you survived the storm. Over here they have started naming winter storms. This last one, which thankfully missed us, was called Pax. "Peace"? An odd name for a storm I think.shadypinesqltrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16755180453538893117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-84267686006913177452014-02-13T02:40:21.503-08:002014-02-13T02:40:21.503-08:00Oh Pat, you are all having such awful weather ove...Oh Pat, you are all having such awful weather over there, I am so glad you could find something lovely in the midst of it.
