New Arrivals



Silver



Shanti

Already adding so much love to out home are our two new kittens.  Silver, a male with beautiful golden eyes and Shanti, a female so dainty and petite.  It's so fun to watch them play and explore their new environment.  They are the perfect kitty pair for us and for each other!

 

 



Inspiration

The newly fallen snow provided the inspiration for my new miniature painting.  I simply gazed out the big window in front of my easel and painted the trees and snowline.  We have cottontail rabbits nesting under some shrubs out back, so, although I didn't actually see a rabbit outside at the time, I used a little artistic license and added a bunny bounding through the snow for interest. 

Window to a Wintry World



This weekend, about 30 inches of snow fell, more than I can ever remember accumulating in our area from one blizzard.  Outside our windows is a winter wonderland, made sparkly today with the arrival of the sun.  Throughout the storm, the animals hunkered down out of sight, aside from a herd of deer that braved the elements to feast on whatever they could find amongst the shrubbery before it got enveloped in white.

 

 

 

There was a flurry of activity today, as the snows stopped and the sun shone bright.  Birds and squirrels rushed to and fro and ate their fill at our backyard feeders once again.

 

 

Oh Deer!!!
