Because of the snow and wind schools were closed today so I got to entertain two small people for the day. That made pursuing my usual schedule of drawing and painting all day difficult. LC and I painted but OJ wasn't interested. She painted the dawn.
The three of us collaborated on the Daily Art page which said to "turn the splodges into animals." They did a few and left the rest for me. I did most of them but quickly ran out of ideas.
I tried to paint the Daily Practice of a bowl of cherries but had trouble concentrating. I think I'll take another run at it tomorrow.
While I was digging around for some knitting the other day I ran across
a pair of fingerless mitts that are way too small for me so I left them out for LC to try on. They fit! So I gave them to her. That made OJ say, "aw" so I dug out some red yarn and cast on mitts for him. I got all but the thumb done of the first one this afternoon and evening. That may be the fastest that I've knitted something in a long time.
The kids had a lot of fun in the deep snow in the backyard and even more fun on the parking lot mountain behind the neighbor's house. I had to dissuade OJ from digging a burrow into the side of the mountain. All I could think of was it collapsing on him and trapping him under hundreds of pounds of snow. Nightmare!

I didn't know snowstorms were named. If hurricanes are, why not snowstorms. You certainly weren't spared. All that snow!! Scary!!
