Thanksgiving 2015

 Thanksgiving 2015.
A time to think about what is happening in the world.
Sometimes it seems crazy.
We have been tied up with our immediate world of late.
High frantic winds, trees falling on buildings, Bitter cold days and nights.
But our little cabin in the woods has kept us warm and dry through it all.
We may not have had electricity but we had fire in the wood stove,
battery operated lanterns, water jugs from years of camping,
and a knowledge of how to do without and use what we had.
I painted whenever I could by the light of a lantern.....adding a mellow glow
to the room as well as the canvas. It helped pass the time when it was impossible
to be outside or anywhere away from the heat of the wood stove. And we both read a lot.
We were thankful for much.
C climbed up on the roof of the garage, cut the limbs off, cut up the tree, and rolled it off the back.
He also climbed on the steeper roof of the studio and did the same.
Damage to both but we are insured.
Others in our area have had it a lot worse. Longer times without power or heat.
A good time not to be thinking about what is happening in the rest of the world for it is
chaotic and sad.
