I fear that reality is getting a grip on my life and I might never submerge myself into the warm golden depths of artistic pursuits ever again. I am trapped in my bed, the fourth day of flu taking its toll. It has been almost 3 weeks since I arranged pieces of tile , moving…
The snow is deep on the fields, and the car is stuck in a ditch about a quarter of a mile down the road. I haven’t done much work in the last few days, and succumbed to the cleaning and sledging (guess which I would rather do!) Happy Winter Celebrations !
