I feel pretty dang lucky most of the time. It has been impossibly COLD and snowy all winter. OK, maybe average for Ithaca, but Ithaca averages a lot of snow and cold. Manitoba is NORTH of North Dakota, and a whole LOT worse, but I don't live there, do I? So this seems bad enough...since Thanksgiving when we had our first blizzard! But yesterday?
SIGNS OF HOPE! A little sun, 42 degrees, I saw a flock of DOZENS of robins! They were skinny and trying hard to poke for food at a little thawed patch of mud.
Other signs of an awakening: I am not lazy at all, but it is always nice when a gallery or shop you like approaches YOU, ditto a good show. You love to be loved in this business, and in the last 2 days both an awesome shoppe and also an awesome show both came to me, yesssssss...nice start to the retail season :)
Speaking of which, buy some of my stuff, MOTHER'S DAY is coming!!!!!! New items at my etsy shoppe now!

you are off to a great start for 2014, congrats!
This may be your best year yet! I've got my fingers crossed for you. :-)
Sounds like a nice day all around. I think you're one of the last people I would call lazy.
Live from Manitoba....We're actually above zero. Every time that happens, it snows! After the snow, ripping winds, temps plunge below zero F, C and anybody else's measurement.
Right now, post snow pre wind...it's a bit of a break. I'll keep sipping coffee from my beagle mug by Gary!
Robins! How lovely!
