Dreary days

An icy morning. The streets were clear, but driveways and parking lots all ice. Drawing class and woodcarving this morning though, and it's always a pretty day at The Center.

The fire welcomed and warmed us.

"It is a joy to hold a lovely scene, a delightful moment, in memory." from Nature's Sketchbook Perpetual Calendar by Marjolein Bastin.

The woods are sleeping; waiting for spring.

Don't you think?
A touch of green.

Memories of winter crafts. Beauty all around...

...but in woodcarving class, hubby cut his finger and so he had to wear the carved "blood drop" pendant for the day. I think it's related to the "dunce cap".

Great pictures! What fun to have the pendant to wear. Tee hee.

Not so much fun to wear the pendant. Besides the pain of the cut itself, it is the ribbing one gets from the rest of the class.

Oh poor hubby! But it is a cute pendant. I like that group-they're like a family. Great photos as always.
