I just realized it has been a whole season since I've posted.  It's

been a season of recovery and healing.

I'm looking forward to this season of summer,  planning to fill it with sun and 

productivity.

These two paintings are now at the Juan De Fuca Centre. "Overlooking" is one of my favourite spots on the Dallas waterfront and "Beyond the Shadow" is a composite painting  from places in the Fraser Valley.

Week-end Project

Two days of sorting old letters, pictures and kids mementos and the job is still not finished.

Snow Day!

The view from my bedroom window this evening!

Snow!

It doesn't take a lot of snow to snarl traffic in this city, you might notice a light dusting on the tree. 

I took this picture while inching along to work this morning. 

I'm hoping for a snow day tomorrow!
