Well, my Sweetie flew me away to Florida again for my birthday. Born in 1957, I turned 57 this year. How is it possible that I am this old? Well, there is no denying it when I look in the mirror! I guess I can worry about looking older or I can worry about something else. I told Sweetie I am such an excellent worryer and that the only thing I don't have to worry about is always having something to worry about!
I told my sister I'd bring back some warm weather from Florida, and I did - it was 52F when we landed at CVG airport! Rainy yesterday and today - but it's not 52 anymore - and another snow expected today, just in time for everyone's Super Bowl parties.
I have lots to do the next few days, getting ready for Carol Carter's visit Tuesday evening (she is coming to give the guest artist program to our watercolor society Wednesday morning) - weather permitting (but it doesn't look likely, with icy weather predicted for Tuesday evening!!!).
I did take my Stillman & Birn watercolor sketchbook (a beautiful surface to paint on!!!) and my Holbein travel kit and some pencils - so have some small things to share because I did paint once in a while before heading out in the mornings to the white sandy beaches of Anna Maria Island :) Sweetie got some bird photos for reference, too, including white ibises we didn't see last time in December. I will miss seeing the white egrets, the white ibis and the sandpipers of all kinds.
Winter still has KY in its talons and won't let go. Stay safe and warm, my friends. And thanks for all the birthday wishes. It was, officially, January 26th. I am a winter baby - and have always disliked winter. Hmmmm....something not right about that! ha ha
Have a great Sunday, wherever you are - and especially if you are travelling today.
