ALL GONE

the rain came & went...the landscape is kind of blah from my window

FROM MEMORY

came upon this scene as I was driving up the Catskill Mountain yesterday, about 6pm...beautiful crescent moon & venus rising against the western horizon...an urgency to record it this morning, 'cause I may not see it again

BRILLIANT

wow, what a brilliant sunny day....this must be the first time this winter I can actually feel the heat from the sun, great evening for star gazing

WINTER-SUNSET

winter might be long & bleak, but the amazing sunsets make up for it....another winter sunset from yesterday...

WAKE UP CASSEROLE

whenever I pass thru MA, I make it a point to stop at Great Barrington, MA  to stock up on bread from Berkshire Mountain Bakery, for their sour dough bread...with so much bread, I made cheddar-bacon wake-up casserole this morning, simple but a nice sunday treat with bread, shredded cheddar cheese, a little crisp-cooked bacon, & 2 cups milk with 4 eggs...the trick is to soak it overnight...bake 35o for 30 minutes

TOULOUSE LAUTREC

yet another blustery winter's day yesterday, took a ride out to Williamstown, MA to catch the Toulouse Lautrec and Paris exhibit at The Clark...love his work since my college days...The Clark always puts on interesting & unusual show, not a bad way to pass a winter's day

SNOW DAY

another day of uninterrupted solitude...snow shower forcast has turn into a few inches of snow...thank goodness I have my valentine's day flowers to inspire me...this small sketch has turn into a very finish pastel

WINTER POND

after a few sunny days, all the snow on the pond has turn into a nice skating rink...as soon as I put on my skates this morning, the wind & clouds are bringing in more snow....long winter teaches one about living the moment
