The one great thing about paint is it covers up what you don't like...Stay tuned for another reveal...I always have problems with backgrounds until the main subject is nearly finished...I think I've figured out this one, but we will see.

Working on floor cloths in the winter is not always easy...5-8 layers of paint, paper and poly are required and of course patience...That's a lot of P's

Roses in the Snow

ROSES IN THE SNOW

By

Mary K. Anson

When the hours are long and gray

with weather too cold to bear

 children’s antics light the day

 and their laughter fills the air

With little faces glowing red

like winter roses in the snow

they trudge along, with feet of lead

up endless hills, their sleds in tow

As the top comes into view

excitement builds along with fear

one flies down and then there’s two

as the rest gives out a cheer

The joyful sounds, all too rare

ring through the long afternoon

but then a moment of despair

the fun has ended all too soon

 

Christmas decorating

amazing

The ups and downs of Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving

Right at home

It's just temporary so enjoy it

out of sight/ no more crazy curser

For years I have had a problem with my laptop keyboard. As I would type, gobbledy goop would show up on the screen, leading me to believe I had early onset dementia. But if you ask the right questions, problems can  be solved...In my case, the resolution was as simple as moving the curser to the bottom of the screen when I wanted to type, because of a glitch on laptops that causes the mousepad interfere with typing...If I had only thought to Google the problem before, rather than wasting a total of hours bemoaning my bad keyboard, I would have written many more blog posts...
