I have some great personal news. My paintings have been accepted at the Kingston’s Springer Market. I will be there as a casual vendor from April until October. Market days are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. If you are thinking of coming up to Kingston and are planning on seeing my work, please send me a note so that I can be sure to be there.
It is great to get out on a sunny afternoon and snowshoe! Yesterday, my husband and I strapped up and headed out.
There are lots of tracks out there in the forest. The little arrows of wild turkeys, our own tracks, coyote/wolf/dog tracks, the little tracks that look like human babies but are really racoons and another long fingered critter perhaps the dreaded fisher. On our walk about we also found a few holes which may belong to weasels. Sadly too, it looks like one of our paper wasp colonies died this winter. Their entire hive was shredded and opened.
What in life could be better than having your own little place and some land to walk on?
Arrived safe at THO. It was only minus 1 degree celsius in the house. I started the heater and emptied the car while Hj shovelled up near the doorway and the gate. I am grateful to my cousin Kenny who keeps me ploughed out. I have been able to drive right up to the house so far any time I have come and today was no exception. The snow banks are about half the size of the house… which isn’t saying too much… tee hee…
As soon as these few little tasks were accomplished, we tapped the maple trees. They are dripping now into the buckets. All feels right in the world!
