Thursday Art Day and Dinner Date ... Stranded in Snow

Stranded in Snow

Izzi was a snow lovin' dog and we had plenty of deep snows when we lived on the lake ...

The pictures below are from Public Domain as my pictures of this day are all slides ... I worked in downtown Chicago and was stranded there until the next day when they finally got the trains running.  However when we got home no one could come pick us up at the train so we had to walk about two miles on the streets that were plowed .  My neighbor was with me and he had to stop at a store on the way home because he had to buy milk for his new born baby.  It was quite a harrowing experience.

So far nothing since has come close to this ... as I recall we had 20+ inches of snow dropped between when I left for work that morning and when I was supposed to be going home that evening  :(

I love snow, but this was a bit much.  Hope you all are home safe and warm ...

Thursday Art & Dinner Date! ... Pockets

 Pockets 

I chose to use the "pockets" in Marsupials.  Technically, the pockets in Marsupials are referred to as pouches, so I am stretching the definition a little for the purpose of this post :)

It is the first time in awhile that I have had time to sit down and enjoy creating my own art.  This was fun ... 

Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving and a fun weekend.  

We are now buried in our first layer of snow with below freezing temperatures ... Brrrrrr ! Already looking forward to Spring 😁

Thursday Art & Dinner Date ... Landscapes

This and the next two pictures is Lake Michigan

Most of these pictures were taken in the Chain of Lakes State Park which was just a short distance from where I lived on the lake.  This just barely scratches the surface of all the landscape pictures I have taken over the years.  I am sure I will run across some that I should have included, but for now this will have to do.  Today is Thanksgiving and I have much to be thankful for including all of my blogging friends who I enjoy and admire immensely.  Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate it and to those who don't, it is a good day to stop and give thought to all that you have to be Thankful for ... Be well, be happy and stay warm 😊
