Not sure whether to be glad we're iced in or not. While I wouldn't have minded all snow (which would have translated into 66-12 inches, Mother Nature decided to once again treat us to a variety of events ranging from snow, to sleet (about 5:00 this morning) to freezing rain. The temps hovering right at freezing cause the moisture to arrive as rain then freeze at the ground. Now it's thawing somewhat, leaving a slushy mess which is supposed to be followed by snow. YUCK! I think of all those individuals trying to get home for Christmas and other winter holidays and celebrations and my heart goes out to them. On the plus side, being "weathered in" always gives rise to the creative muses and so I'll probably work on my much delayed "REUBEN" a wip in progress that even I weary of at times. (My illustrative style changed after I was well into it, preferring now watercolor over layered colored pencil, but will continue in the latter venue on this project.)
I'll try to ignore, at least for the time being, the drier buzzer going off, or the sound of the salt truck. And transport myself to pre-war Germany for some artwork.
About Me
- cjhardy
- I am a writer and illustrator from NW Ohio. I have a great love for all things vintage and enjoy nothing more than a challenge with historical research. I was fortunate enough to spend my earlier years teaching, first in my mother's piano studio, later as a teacher in the former Hebrew Academy of Toledo and as a special education teacher, teaching hearing impaired children. I live in a small community outside of Toledo, Ohio with my husband and our two beautiful dalmations.
