Frosty Beginnings; Pleasant Celebrations

Our porch thermometer registered minus twelve degrees F this morning! We huddled around our wood stove like blackbirds hunched over the chimney tops. I celebrated mindfulness and practiced balance with friends at a chair yoga class this morning, then celebrated a milestone birthday of another friend at Angus and Ale. Our group of five had neither beef or beer, but we did have fun wearing crepe paper crowns from party crackers and reading the silly riddles inside. (What is served but not eaten? Answer...A tennis ball).

A New Day; A New Blog

Ok,ok. I had a blog, but it fizzled out, like many of my sketchbook or notebooks that only have a few pages used and a lot of blank pages! The real reason I abandoned my other blog was I forgot how to access the dashboard to log in a new post. It was just too complicated... Or maybe I forgot my password...

I've renamed my blog Farmhouse Greetings. I think my old blog was Farmhouse Greetings, too. My blogspot address is farmhouseartist.blogspot.com ( I think). Farmhouse Greetings is the name of my greeting card and calendar business. It's really just me. I draw a lot. When you draw a lot, you need to do something with your drawings. Make them into cards to share with people! Or put them on  calendars that people can see everyday. I like greeting people, too. I always joked with my family I'd be a good WalMart Greeter because I'm pretty good at smiling and saying hello; recently, I've been one of the ladies at the school voting table...it's a good match. I get to say hello and find the A-D names in the big voting registration book. Then I initial and date the line where people sign in and hand them a ballot and point to the voting booth...

Look! I've made my first post on my new ( improved?) blog! Hopefully, it will be a smattering of greetings, hellos, observations, art activities and whatever else I feel like sharing... Consider it a notecard from me to you. I love taking photos, too. Maybe I'll figure out how to upload a few here!
