Cabin fever, virtual dog park and latte...

Since my last post "Me Wanting for Spring"... Well, that post kind of back fired on me and this is what we got instead... Ice rain, rain, snow, wet snow, more rain and more ice rain, then followed by more snow. It was impossible to walk outside, even Charlie refused to go out... So, I had to do something to lift up the spirits around here (I really like different shades of grey, but the sky here was so blahh dirty grey, heavy and just down right depressing. And that was also what the grounds looked like in between the snow, wet and grey). And this is what we woke up too after the heavy ice rain and rain, winter wonderland (sigh).

So, if nature wants to hold back spring, I will bring it in here! I got some fresh flowers, just love the scent of fresh flowers and how they look. This one was placed by my kitchen window, something nice to look at while you are down to your elbows in dish water.

And I pulled out a new "rag rug" I bought a few weeks back, I cant tell you enough how much I love these colours "Oranges, Teals, Greens, Greys (nice greys) and lots of White" just the colours we want for our kitchen (if we ever get (or started) the renos done : )

With a little touches of spring all around the house, I sat down and went through my pictures and I found some that I took a few weeks back in the dog park. I made a few sketches from the pictures... Too bad Charlie didn't like this virtual dog park visit as much as I did, lol!!! But we are heading out as soon as I'm done here, haven't told him yet. Because today the sun is shinning and from the looks of it, you can walk out on the sidewalks again (everyone are staying upright, that's a good sign).

When I took these pictures, there was about ten dogs in the park and all of them just loved a blue floppy disk, and they all took turns pulling the thing apart...

Even my Charlie gave it a try against his play mate Jazzy, but Jazzy won, she is a very head strong gal...

And last sketch is one I did a week ago, sitting at the coffee shop sipping my latte. Noticing that there was a lot of ladies with their bonnets still on,while they were sipping their coffees. The red one was an acid red colour and it really stood out in the crowd. Any how, that's pretty much from my last weeks adventures, other than that I have been painting between working and running around like a chicken with out a head (my typical life, being all over the place & multi tasking).

Here's to spring!!!
