Ahhhh, what a long weekend!

Thanksgiving weekend was great! I baked (cookies and a pie and zuchinni bread) and cooked and we ate finally at 9pm (the oven stood there for 2 hours with a cold turkey in it. I’d turned it on then it went out!) Yummm, I’m eating leftover garlic mashed potatoes and stuffing with gravy as we speak.

Friday we woke up to 8 inches of snow! What a winter wonderland that was! I managed to convince Leonardo to come out for a walk and he finally admitted it was kind of nice. Then we lazed around with movies and Tom& Jerrys.

Saturday we went into Taos for my winter boots (totally rad Uggs, mid-calf, with vibram soles, then smooth leather, then suede leather, they lace all the way up and all shearling inside, so cozy, so perfect for up here, don’t even ask how much they were! They will last for years, think of it that way). Then I totally mucked out, cleaned up, and rearranged the studio/gallery. Wow, it looks great. Since the High Road Tour with all the crunch work on the house—before cold weather—and focusing on that Trout-- the gallery has not been open much.

Since it looked so good I opened up on Sunday—and made more sales that one day than all summer put together! Yay! So today Leonardo is in Taos dropping off my paintings at the digital studio. Our client wanted prints I did not have, so we are having them made. We do that. I think she might have purchased the painting but that’s the one going to the Ambassador’s residence in Namibia.

Today I finished up four of those little ones—“the details” of the larger paintings, and just might finish up the other 2 I have in the works before dark (that would be in an hour).

We still have snow on the ground and another storm is expected later in the week. The kitties have not gone out for four days—of their own volition. Amazing. Now I open the door and they run from it rather than to it.

So now, back to the studio.
