It was cold enough and windy enough that we did not even consider going out for a walk the whole day. When lunch time came along it was finally up to 37F and we hit up the Burger King as usual. So we had a rearrange the Castle and art efforts kind of cold day. You can be certain we will not be doing much unnecessary driving around with snow and ice predicted for the next two days along with some one digit temperatures. Here is what the COLD evening sky looked like at 1700 from the Castle door.
We did some productive effort today by cleaning out un-needed art items from the storage box. It was not a big mess but a few things we have not used in a few years went away. We sorted brushes down to a few that fits how we do play now.
We also got rid of several things that newer techniques has made obsolete. We held on to these burnishing tools in case we need them again. They are being replaced with solvent washing instead of burnishing but we are still too new at solvent use to get rid of the tried and true tools yet.
And this coloring Desert Evening was finally finished this afternoon and is ready for viewing.
We have a week of nasty cold and sloppy weather ahead of us. It looks worse than any weather we have seen since we have been coming here for about fifty years. So everyone be careful and try to have tooooo much fun.
Stay snug and safe. We started out at 14 this morning, now up to 16 then back to 14. Kind of cold. But we've been having cold spells here in TX. More extremes in temps it seems to me over the last 20 years, and I've lived here for 78.
ReplyDeleteBeing only at 555 feet elevation helps us here to keep a bit warmer in the winter than I would expect being this far north of you..
DeleteIt is even cold here in Tucson. I lost one of my desert roses as it froze. Stay warm! We will be in the 70s in the next few days.
