We are snug and warm in our little Cape Cod style house, you saw it in the last post. I'm painting one of the bedrooms this weekend. Both bedrooms, the hallway and the living room were painted some kind of drab tan. It wasn't even a pretty tan. The paint was in good shape but it's just not my color. The problem with painting in the winter is that the air is so dry. I'm using Sherwin Williams low VOC paint which has very little odor at all and that dissipates in about an hour. The problem is that the air is so dry paint in my tray also dries very fast and I was getting chunks of rubbery gunk on the roller from of the sides and/or bottom of the tray. But I'm managing.
But I didn't intend to talk about painting today. I was to show off our snow.
Here's a photo of Craggy our cement garden-art Cairn Terrier, taken last summer.

This one was taken January 3... my birthday.

And finally, here he is (or isn't) again yesterday.

I do realize that this snow is nothing compared to folks who live in Minnesota or New Hampshire or most of Canada, but this is the first time I've lived in a locale that gets this much snow since I was in the third grade and I'm loving it.
