Spring is finally here!!!

Well I know that spring is finally here because I have the worst case of poison ivy and oak that I have had in years! That's what I get for doing my spring cleaning up the yard. I have lived here for 6 years and never come across poison ivy but I am making up for it this year. I went to the doctor and got a shot so it should not last too long.

On a lighter note, I have had 2 vacations. I went to Hilton Head Island for 10 days the end of March and it rained every day except the last day. I didn't really care because it was 70 and I could sit out on the back balcony anyway. I just love that area! I went to Savannah, Beaufort, and Brunswick too. What a fabulous time it was. I came back and drove home from work in light snow the very next day! Have I mentioned how much I like snow?

The end of April vacation was much better. I went back for 7 days this time and it was 80 and sunny every day! I had such a wonderful time walking the beach, sitting at the pool, and painting outside. Everyday was better than the day before.

On Mother's Day evening I assembled new patio furniture for the very patio with the poison ivy growing. Roundup makes poison ivy killer so I bought some. Hope I don't poison myself putting it out there.

I am going to try to blog more...keep your fingers crossed, I get busy and forget to post.
I have been painting a lot so here are some new Angels.

Still COLD here!  We had a taste of warm weather last week, but the cold came right back. I have been hearing birds singing in the late morning so spring can't be too far away.  I spend my spare time indoors painting. On a brighter note, I haven't had to shovel snow for more than a week.  Life is good.  We have had a lot of birthdays lately....My Father Jan. 31st... My oldest daughter Mary Feb. 5th...  My youngest daughter Katy Feb. 11th...My son-in-law Chad tomorrow (Feb 16th).  Lots of family time!  I LOVE that!

Well, I made it back from my trip in time to list my Angels on Ebay...I listed 4 this week and here are some pictures. 

It is freezing here, 13 and the wind is blowing. My trip up north was quite slippery and I saw about a dozen wrecks, but other than having white knuckles, I made it there safely and home again tonight...The party was a great success, Thank you Ginny!  Back to work again tomorrow bright and early. I will be making some stars this week and hopefully a box or two, and of course at least one Angel painting.  Have a fabulous week everyone. Stay warm! xoxo Beth

Brrr.....

Hello everyone,
Today I am setting out to drive 2 hours north of where I live to spend time with my best friend Ginny. It is our Christmas get-together. Normally, I wouldn't write about it but it is already snowing here and she lives just on the edge of the snowbelt. Some of you know that I really don't care too much for snow, but what I really don't like is the wind and when the temp drops into the teens or lower. Today will present all of the above... I packed a few things just in case I can't get out later. I am off work tomorrow so I don't have to be back until tomorrow night.
I am hoping to go to the German Village here in Columbus tomorrow night and take pictures of Fire on the Water. All the beautiful old mansions will be lit up for Christmas and they do something with fire on beautiful Schiller pond. They do it every year and I have never seen it before. I will take pictures and post them here. ( Also more Angels this week)
Have a great weekend....I hope you don't have to shovel snow where you live. Beth
