Another eight inches of snow fell last night and it's still snowing lightly. It's very heavy, wet snow and it has made a mess of my chicken yard. The netting has totally succumbed to defeat this time and has torn away from its moorings in several places. Once this snow is gone, I will be cutting it down. I can hardly bring myself to take a picture of it. Oy. Maybe later.

I managed to shovel my way to the chickens this morning and took pity on them and put their food and water in the coop. I prefer not to have those things in my coop. It keeps it much cleaner and dryer in the long run and since I have such a nice outdoor shelter for them, I'd rather keep those things outside the coop. But this is an exceptionally difficult snowfall that I'm making do.

Decided it was a good day to do my watercolor challenge with C. A colorful subject on a basically black and white day.

This was so happy making, that I decided to do a bonus one just for fun.

I am so enamored of this style of watercolor. I have many of them saved on my Pinterest boards. It's the watercolor version of Bob Ross art. "Let's make a little indication of a grove of trees....." :-) God bless him. He was such an inspiration to so many people.

Now I have to think of something else to do real quick. Otherwise I will have to go out and shovel snow.

    Nice work! The wind is howling here at Lake of the Pines and we have heavy rain now. I have bread about to go in the oven and soup is on the stove. Life could be worse!

    For once I can't skite about how warm it is here while you're suffering through snow storms, because the constant haze from the Australian bushfires has meant we're having quite a cool summer - only a couple of really hot days so far this year. Hope you manage to find lots of nice indoor jobs to take priority over the snow shovelling so you can stay inside and warm!

    Both paintings are just lovely, SIL. I was just reading a novel where Bob Ross inspired a little girl to paint! And here he is mentioned again. One of those "things." :)
